Zhu Ran looked at the big black man who suddenly appeared in front of him with some surprise. No matter how hard he used his spear, he could no longer move forward even half an inch! But the big black man only held his sword with one hand and moved his spear.
After being blocked, looking at the way he was chatting and laughing with his opponent, he clearly didn't take him seriously. Zhu Ran was also furious and shouted: "Black thief! Seeking death!" While drinking, Zhu Ran twitched.
He returned the spear, turned around and stabbed the big black man.
Zhou Cang, who arrived in time and rescued Zhu Yue, saw the spear thrust towards him, but his face was not nervous at all. He snorted coldly and waved the single sword in his hand. This single sword, which was comparable to a long weapon, directly hit the target.
Zhu Ran's spear was knocked away immediately! Zhou Cang's strength is one of the best among the generals of the Western Qin Dynasty! Although Zhu Ran is quite talented, he is only a junior general of Sun Wu.
Is he Zhou Cang's opponent? The spear was hit by Zhou Cang's single sword. Zhu Ran felt his hands go numb and he couldn't hold on to the barrel of the spear. The spear came out of his hand and was deeply embedded in the city wall, shaking uncontrollably!
Looking at the palms of my hands, they are full of burst scars. I can’t even make a fist!
Zhu Ran looked at Zhou Cang in shock. He was highly valued by Sun Ce and often fought against Sun Ce and Taishi Ci, the only top masters in Sun Wu's army. However, in terms of strength, he was definitely not as strong as Zhou Cang.
The warehouse is so ridiculously big! Could it be that this big black guy in front of me is even more powerful than Sun Ce, Taishi Ci and the others?
It has to be said that Zhou Cang's strange power is still very deceptive. In terms of skill, Zhou Cang is not considered a top expert at all. If he were to face Sun Ce or Taishi Ci, or even someone far away in Chang'an who had just been promoted to a top expert.
Luo Gan, I'm afraid Zhou Cang's depth will be discovered immediately. But Zhu Ran's skills are not as good as Zhou Cang's, and now he is suppressed by Zhou Cang's strange power. Fear naturally arises in his heart, let alone being defeated.
Zhou Cang, now Zhu Ran has completely lost the fighting spirit to fight Zhou Cang!
"Kill these sons of bitches!" A loud shout sounded from behind Zhou Cang, but the vanguard army led by Zhou Cang had also arrived at the city gate and began to fight back against the Wu army soldiers blocking the city gate!
According to the previous plan, this ambush was proposed by Zhou Yu, Sun Wu's think tank. According to Zhou Yu's calculation, the Western Qin army must have panicked when it was surrounded and would only blindly break through the encirclement, so there was no one in the city.
How many soldiers and horses were deployed. But Zhou Yu never expected that there would be a counselor like Guo Jia in the Western Qin army who liked to take the wrong side of the sword. When he was trapped in a tight siege, he would not think about how to break out of the siege, but instead
Turn around and attack Lujiang City! Now the entire Lujiang City defenders only have more than a thousand of the original defenders. They are facing a powerful offensive from the Western Qin Army that is several times larger than our own. In addition, the commander-in-chief Zhu Ran was killed by the enemy general with a single blow.
Defeated, the morale of the Wu army plummeted, and they were defeated steadily!
Zhu Ran finally regained his composure, and wanted to speak to stop the defeat of the Wu army soldiers, but before he could say anything, he heard a cold snort, and when he turned around, he only saw a flash of light, and then everything went dark.
, and can no longer see anything.
Zhu Ran was killed with one knife. Zhou Cang shook off the blood stains on the knife indifferently. Looking back, he saw that all the vanguard troops had rushed into the city. This time, Zhou Cang didn't need Guo Jia to remind him. He shouted to the soldiers: "
Quickly close the city gate for me! Detach a thousand people and guard the city gate for me! Hey! That boy named Zhu Yue! I will leave this city gate to you! I have to go and deal with the enemies in the city!
"After saying that, Zhou Cang didn't care how Zhu Yue responded, and rushed towards the city with a single sword.
Zhu Yue was stunned, and at this time, another voice came in Zhu Yue's ear: "You'd better execute the order quickly, don't delay important things!"
When Zhu Yue turned around, he saw that the person speaking was actually Guo Jia, which shocked Zhu Yue again. Although his whole body was covered with injuries, Zhu Yue quickly took three steps back, cupped his fists and shouted at Guo Jia.
: "Little man, little man, obey your orders!"
Guo Jia looked at Zhu Yue, with some approval on his face, and said: "Your injuries are not light. You only need to explain these things, and you don't have to do it yourself! Remember, there are more arrangements on the top of the city on all sides.
Archers, if the enemy outside the city wants to attack the city, don't be stingy with arrows, just shoot them back! The enemy comes in a hurry and will never be equipped with siege equipment! General Zhou and I will send people to help after we control the city.
It’s yours! Just don’t worry!”
With Guo Jia's guidance, Zhu Yue also knew what to do next. After seeing Guo Jia left, Zhu Yue took the thousand people left by Zhou Cang and began to arrange the city.
The defense line was set up, and hundreds of people were assigned to seize the other three city gates. There were not many Wu troops in the city, and Zhou Cang quickly took control of the entire Lujiang City.
At this time, the Wu army outside the city had also rushed to the city wall. As Guo Jia had guessed before, the Wu army obviously did not expect to have to fight a siege battle, and did not prepare any siege equipment at all. It could only be
They rushed towards the city wall several times in a hurry, but Zhu Yue, who had already received Guo Jia's instructions, ordered them to shoot back. In the end, they could only retreat about a mile in anger and form formation.
After setting up the formation, a general walked out of the Wu army's formation and said to another general who was looking at the head of Lujiang City in front of the formation: "General Pan! What should we do? This is different from Master Zhou's plan! What should we do?
How to deal with it?”
The person who was called General Pan was Pan Zhang, the general of Sun Wu. Like Zhu Ran, although Pan Zhang was not as famous among Sun Wu's army as Bu Zhi and others, he could still be regarded as a general. Compared to Zhu Ran
With Zhu Zhi as the adoptive father of Sun Wu Laochen, Pan Zhang's status today was all due to his sword and spear. Because of this, Pan Zhang was highly valued by Zhou Yu, and this time he planned to ambush the Western Qin vanguard.
Zhou Yu also specially appointed Pan Zhang as the commander of the ambush army, which shows Zhou Yu's trust in Pan Zhang.
After hearing the other party's inquiry, Pan Zhang turned his eyes away from the top of Lujiang City and frowned at the young general. The identity of this young general was not simple. He was the one who died in Yuzhou to save Sun Ce.
Ling Cao’s son Ling Tong! Although Ling Tong was young, his skills were no less than his father’s. He was hailed by Sun Ce as Sun Wu’s future general. In addition, his father Ling Cao died in battle to save Sun Ce.
Sun Ce valued Ling Tong no less than the Sun clan members. According to the news, it seems that after the Battle of Lujiang, Sun Ce intended to adopt Ling Tong as his adopted son and give him the surname Sun! This means that Ling Tong will soon be
Will be successful!
This time Zhou Yu sent Ling Tong to Pan Zhang's side, and his intention was very obvious. If he just accepted Ling Tong as Sun Ce's adopted son, it would be difficult to convince the public, so Zhou Yu sent Ling Tong to let him
This battle to ambush the Western Qin vanguard was gilded with gold.
Zhou Yu was right to think so. Naturally, Pan Zhang would not refuse anything that could please Sun Ce. In the eyes of all of them, this ambush of the Western Qin Army should be a sure thing. But Pan Zhang did not expect it.
How could such a change happen? How could a good ambush turn into a brutal siege? Thinking of this, Pan Zhang couldn't help but secretly curse Zhu Ran, who was responsible for garrisoning Lujiang City. He usually shouted
It's amazing, but it's so useless on the battlefield!
Complaints are complaints, but this battle must continue to be fought. Pan Zhang pondered for a moment and said: "Now we only have to make ladders quickly and attack Lujiang City as soon as possible!" Pan Zhang also knew that in this way, it would be easy to defeat Lujiang City.
The ambush battle that was originally easy to win would turn into a head-to-head battle, and Sun Wu's army would definitely suffer heavy losses. But there was nothing that could be done about it. We couldn't just watch Lujiang fall into the hands of the enemy!
Ling Tong didn't think much about it and shouted in a deep voice: "Here! I'll do it now!" After saying that, Ling Tong turned around and left without saying any nonsense.
Looking at Ling Tong's retreating back, Pan Zhang couldn't help but sigh. Although Ling Tong was not lively in the past, he was definitely not the indifferent character he is now. Since the news of Ling Cao's death in Yuzhou came, Ling Tong
It has always been like this. Even after Sun Ce announced that he would adopt him as his adopted son, Ling Tong's expression did not improve much. Pan Zhang also sympathized with Ling Tong's experience, but such is the case in troubled times, Ling Cao
As a general, he has already been mentally prepared to return to the battlefield with his horse and corpse wrapped up. I hope Ling Tong can get out of this shadow as soon as possible!
After withdrawing his thoughts from Ling Tong, Pan Zhang turned his head and looked at the top of Lujiang City. Looking at the Western Qin Army who had already set up a defense line on the top of the city, his brows could not help but frown a little more.
Zhou Yu's previous plan was perfect in Pan Zhang's opinion, and Pan Zhang had done nothing wrong in executing Zhou Yu's plan, but such an incident happened, which made Pan Zhang feel an ominous feeling.
I have a premonition that this attempt to ambush the Western Qin Army will not be successful!
The Sun Wu army brought by Pan Zhang this time totaled more than 18,000 people. They were all secretly drawn from defenses in various places in Yangzhou by Zhou Yu in order to hide the spies of the Western Qin Dynasty. These 18,000 people,
It can be said that this is the maximum amount that Zhou Yu can mobilize, but the vanguard army of Western Qin has nearly 5,000 people! Logically speaking, even if it enters a siege, Pan Zhang's 18,000 people will attack 5,000 people.
The guarded Lujiang City should be able to win, but Pan Zhang suddenly had such an idea. Will there be a sudden change like today?
Thinking of this, Pan Zhang himself couldn't help but smile bitterly. If this is really the case, it means that God really wants to destroy Sun Wu! Thinking like this, Pan Zhang shook his head and forced those thoughts out of his mind.
After that, he began to concentrate on arranging tactics and preparing to attack Lujiang City!
