Cao Ren can really hold on now.

After the Wu army landed, it had already formed a stance of Mount Tai to press down on the top, which scared Cao Ren to explain his funeral.

But at this critical moment, there was a serious conflict between the two commanders of the Wu army.

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu are the governors of the left and right, and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority.

Although Zhou Yu admires Cheng Pu and is willing to cooperate with Cheng Pu on many minor issues, he knows that breaking Jiangling is of great significance. Whoever is the leader and who is the second is related to the historical status and the distribution of interests of his subordinates. Of course, he cannot give in to Cheng Pu on such issues.

Cheng Pu also admired Zhou Yu's demeanor, but at his age, he could not refuse to take on such a great opportunity.

The two first communicated harmoniously and decided that Zhou Yu would attack the city from the west and Cheng Pu would attack the city from the south. Both armies would attack the city from the main attack and not hurt the harmony.

The main force of the Wu army was divided into two groups. Under the command of the two, they fought hard to attack the city. Jiangling was shaking for a while. But from the attack from morning to afternoon that day, the morale of the army was not high. Cheng Pu thought that the city could not be broken today, so he simply asked his subordinates to retreat first for some food and prepare to fight again tomorrow.

This is in line with the art of war, and he also sent people to spread the word about Zhou Yu.

But Zhou Yu's soldiers were stronger. He had already climbed the city wall in the daytime battle and was fighting the death of Cao Ren's defenders. He was unwilling to give up such an opportunity and sent someone to ask Cheng Pu not to withdraw his troops. But these days, communications are all based on war horses. When the war horses ran back to Cheng Pu's camp, Cheng Pu's soldiers received orders to withdraw troops and began to slowly retreat.

Although Cao Ren was in a mess in the water battle, he immediately seized this rare opportunity after many years of war.

He left Niu Jin to guard the city, and personally led Chang Diao to reinforce the west of the city. When Cao's army in the west saw Cao Ren coming in person, his morale was immediately boosted and even opened the door to go out of the city to fight Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu couldn't hold on, and the soldiers who had already climbed up to the city were thrown down the city tower one by one. The screams dissipated the morale of the entire army. He had no choice but to retreat.

But at this time, Cheng Pu received a request from Zhou Yu that he would not withdraw his troops for the time being. After thinking for a while, he changed the order and let the back team turn into the front team to continue to attack the city.

When the Wu army received the order to retreat, they were already depressed. This time they turned back to attack the city, so they were naturally reluctant.

Niu Jin, a fierce general guarding the south of the city, seized the opportunity and immediately led his army to attack. The two armies collided head-on, and the Wu army was instantly dispersed, causing heavy losses to the entire army.

After repelling Zhou Yu, Cao Ren returned to the south of the city. Seeing Niu Jin so brave, he simply put on his armor and left the city again, defeated Cheng Pu, and chased Cheng Pu's military camp and showed off his might for a while before he returned.

The Wu army suffered heavy losses in this battle. Zhou Yu's most brave Xiandeng Ruishi was abandoned on the top of the city and was massacred like a duck by Chen Jiaoyi-jie's literati.

The elite soldiers behind Cheng Pu's palace were dispersed by Niu Jin in one fell swoop. Cao's army calmly killed all the Wu army's rear team, and even carefully cleaned the battlefield, killing the undead Wu army soldiers one by one, stripping off all their armor. The Jiangling City was filled with joy.

The besieged city was pushed to the door of the house.

This command and dispatch are almost the same as Cao Ren's command of water battles.

Zhou Yu was so angry that his teeth were itchy, and he immediately came to settle the score with Cheng Pu. Cheng Pu was also very aggrieved and scolded Zhou Yu for being greedy for his achievements. If Zhou Yu hadn't sent someone to ask Cheng Pu to stay, Cheng Pu would have done it and retreated long ago, so why would he have been beaten like this?

The two argued for a few days and finally reached an understanding temporarily. They believed that the lineup was fine and they would come back next time.

The two of them gave up their past grudges and commanded them in unison this time, saying that they could not let Cao Ren continue to be rampant.

Three days later, the Wu army launched an attack from the south and west again.

This time the attack, Cao's army was very morale and its resistance was far greater than every time before. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Wu army began to retreat early.

Cao Ren followed the rules and ordered his general Niu Jin to lead 300 people out of the city to pursue, striving to drag the enemy's rear team and cause certain damage to the Wu army.

Niu Jin showed his skills in the last battle, and his cavalry were all very energetic, and it was not bad for those ponies in Jiangdong and soldiers who had never accepted any regular cavalry confrontation.

He went out of the city to pursue without hesitation, and tightly tied to the Wu army's rear team. The Wu army shouted and scolded desperately, and Niu Jin ignored it at all. He even had the idea of ​​directly entering the Wu army camp to show off his power.

But he really underestimated the foundation of Wu Jun.

The Wu army, which had been fighting for many years, was now at its peak. Niu Jin and 300 people rushed too far. Zhou Yu made a quick decision. The Wu army, who had already revealed the defeated prime minister, immediately opened the big net. Xu Sheng, Song Qian and Pan Zhang each waved their weapons, like three molongs that had emerged from the abyss, rolled in. Huang Gai and Han Dang also waved their swords and led the infantry to surround Niu Jin and surround them, and were about to be wiped out one by one!

Although there were not many 300 people, it was undoubtedly an inspiring and major victory for the Wu army, who had just suffered a defeat.

As long as Niu Jin is wiped out and his head is hung up for public display, it will definitely greatly damage the morale of Cao's army in the city. Maybe there is still three months to break through.

Victory and defeat are here, and the Wu army is really trying to use their lives. The powerful generals, sharp soldiers, commanders, and Wu army took out everything they could. This power like Mount Tai is definitely not something that Niu Jin can resist.

Niu Jin's face turned pale when he saw so many people roaring at him. He forced himself to calm down and ordered his soldiers to break through. While fighting, he threw a look at Cao Ren on the city tower asking for help.

General, help me!

Cao Ren saw from the city that the Wu army had already started wearing armor when he saw from all directions. The chief Chen Jiao quickly grabbed Cao Ren and said in horror:

"The general is the commander, how can he take risks with himself? Although it is very painful to give up his friendly forces,... there is nothing he can do about it."

Cao Ren glared at him and ordered Chang Diao to defend the city, and personally led the guards around him out of the city. Seeing that Cao Ren had only brought more than 100 people out of the city, the Wu army soldiers thought Cao Ren was just bluffing and scaring him. Unexpectedly, Cao Ren shouted loudly, waved his iron halberd, and led his guards to plunge into the Wu army's encirclement.

When Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu saw that Cao Ren dared to die, they were overjoyed.

The two of them personally put on their horses and dispatched all the soldiers who could be dispatched to surround Cao Ren, preparing to complete their contributions in one battle and kill the Cao Wei pillar under the horse.

But soon they discovered that Cao Ren was deeply trusted by Cao Cao, not just because his surname was Cao.

Facing the swarming Jiangdong cavalry, Cao Ren was not afraid at all.

The iron halberd in his hand was lifted, and the sharp pointed hook immediately brought up a bloody flower. Then, the iron halberd flew like lightning in his rough palm, either light, heavy, fast, or slow. It was obvious that there was only an ordinary iron halberd, but it shone brightly under Cao Ren's wave. Xu Sheng and Song Qian felt their breath suffocating, and the surging attack just now slowed down!

when!

Amid the dull sound of the weapons clashing, Cao Ren walked through the Wu army formation. The Wu army's weapons could not penetrate the heavy iron armor on its body. Cao Ren took off several weapons in severe pain, waved his sword and let it go, and even tore a gap between the siege of many famous generals of the Wu army, killing them so that the Wu army's generals dared not approach.

Seeing Cao Ren so brave, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu showed a hint of shock on their faces.

Such a powerful martial arts, except for Gan Ning, I am afraid that no one in the Wu army can stop such a powerful general.

It would be great if Bo Fu and Ziyi were still alive.

Seeing that the generals of the Wu army were no match for him, Cao Ren suddenly increased his confidence. He used all his life's martial arts and rushed left and right in the siege of everyone. After the Wu army's encirclement was broken, it was difficult to gather. Xu Sheng and Han Dang, who were unwilling to accept it, came forward to challenge several times, but were easily repelled by Cao Ren. They could only watch Niu Jin break through the siege.

Cao Ren, covered in blood, was bathed in the dazzling sunshine at noon in spring, like an ancient ferocious beast out of the cage.

He didn't even rush to retreat, but looked at the Wu generals with disdain and even a little pitiful eyes, and snorted coldly.

"But that's it."

The Wu army was silent.

Cao's army had retreated, but no one dared to challenge them anymore. He allowed Cao Ren to easily turn his horse's head and return to the city.

Chen Jiao, who was standing at the top of the city, jumped up and down excitedly, patted the arrows on the top of the city, and shouted loudly:

"Is the general the heavenly being descended from the earth? Is the general the heavenly being descended from the earth?"

The Cao army soldiers also cheered together, and the thunderous sound hit the hearts of the Wu army generals, and no one of them wanted to speak out for a moment.

If you fail before, it can be said that you are not properly dispatched and poorly cooperated, so you will be successful.

But this time they fought head-on, and they were hit hard by Cao Ren. Cao Ren, who had performed in a mess in the water battle, achieved a brave achievement like a god, which would definitely become a major shame that Zhou Yu could not erase.

Looking at the Cao army showing off their power, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu had the same thoughts.

It's over, I will definitely not be able to win this city in three months!

what to do……

If you can't fight, you will either run away or call someone.

Sun Quan has now begun to attack Hefei, and there is no longer any support in the rear of the Wu army.

Zhou Yu thought about it again and again, but he could only make a very helpless choice-

"Zijing, ask Liu Envoy to send troops and borrow Zhang Yide, which is enough to fight against Cao Ren!"

Lu Su nodded gently, but his face was still worried.

"What should I do in the north?"

Cao Ren is so powerful. If the north is opened, Le Jin and Xu Huang will come together, and the Wu army's plan to attack Jiangling will be completely failed.

"Now... it can only be seen how long Guan Yu and his son can last."

Zhou Yu had previously thought that it was easy to defeat Jiangling within three months, so he only gave Guan Yu three months of food and supplies. Unexpectedly, Cao Ren, the defeated general, was so powerful. If this battle continues, the Wu army will be trapped outside Jiangling City at most, but Guan Yu has to withstand a battle without a rear, support or even supply.

It’s okay to say one or two months, but I can barely hold on for three months.

After a long time, Zhou Yu was embarrassed to let Guan Yu fight so many Cao troops by himself.

"The Supreme One should have taken over Hefei. I hope... I hope Guan Yu can hold on."

·

In Jiangling City, Cao's army was filled with joy.

Their food and grass can still last for a long time. It seems that the Wu army will not be able to break the city within two or three months. Cao Ren hastened to plan the subsequent combat plan.

Cao Cao's original plan was to let Cao Ren take a break and buy time for the main force to rest and rest. Then Cao Cao sent someone to rescue Cao Ren so that Sun and Liu would not easily get Jiangling and then quickly advance northern expedition.

But now Cao Ren has won many victories and has begun to expand a little.

He was going to drive the Wu army away and fight them away completely so that they would never dare to stand in front of them in the future.
