"Master Zhou! The soldiers are all ready! As long as the enemy attacks the city, the soldiers will fight to the death!" Ding Feng saluted Zhou Yu with his only remaining hand. Although Ding Feng was missing one hand, Ding Feng
Feng has always been brave and good at fighting, and has won the respect of Sun Wu's army. Therefore, Ding Feng's status has not declined at all. On the contrary, the soldiers respect him more and more. Zhou Yu also knows that Ding Feng will never go to rest obediently, so
Simply leave the important task of rectifying the morale of the army to him.
After hearing Ding Feng's report, Zhou Yu nodded, then turned to the other generals and said: "Everyone, today is the key! As long as we survive today, Liu Bei's reinforcements will arrive tomorrow! At that time, we can cooperate internally and externally.
, Defeat the Western Qin Army! Everyone must hold on!" In Zhou Yu's heart, he had no idea whether Liu Bei's reinforcements would arrive, but in front of the soldiers, Zhou Yu did not dare to say that.
The soldiers present did not know what Zhou Yu was thinking. Their blind trust in Zhou Yu gave them no reason to believe Zhou Yu's words. In addition, they had been beaten so badly by the Western Qin army in the past few days.
Zhou Yu said that they were finally able to launch a counterattack against the Western Qin Army. Everyone shouted excitedly, and their morale suddenly rose to the top. Seeing the excitement of the soldiers, Zhou Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least this way, there is still a chance.
Fight hard!
"Hey! Look! The enemy has made some movement!" Zhu Huan's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked outside the city and shouted loudly. At the same time, he raised his finger and pointed outside the city. All the soldiers followed Zhu Huan's hand and pointed towards it.
, Sure enough, there was a commotion in the Western Qin army formation outside the city, but a horse rushed out, carrying a flagpole and rushed towards the city gate. The officers and soldiers were a little confused. If the enemy swarmed up,
That makes sense, but what does it mean to send out one cavalry like this? Do they think they can capture Guangling City with just one cavalry?
After fighting with the enemy for so many days, General Sun Wu would certainly not think that the other party was a fool. But after the horse approached, Bu Zhao narrowed his eyes and shouted: "Something's wrong! There seems to be something hanging on that flagpole!"
When Bu Zhi said this, everyone's eyes shifted from the knight to the top of the flagpole. Sure enough, there was a round thing hanging on the top of the flagpole, which was swinging constantly at the top of the flagpole. All the soldiers stared.
His eyes were wide open and he wanted to see clearly what it was. In the end, Ding Feng, who had the best eyesight, shouted: "That thing looks like a human head!"
"Human head?" When Ding Feng said this, everyone exclaimed and frowned. What was the enemy's intention when he suddenly took out such a human head at this time? Zhou Yu's heart suddenly thought, and there seemed to be something ominous.
With a premonition, he immediately pushed aside the few people in front of him, rushed to the front of the female wall, stretched out his head and looked out of the city. However, Zhou Yu had been busy with military and political affairs over the years, and his eyes were no longer as clear as before, and he narrowed his eyes.
I stared at it for a long time, but I couldn't see clearly what the head looked like.
In fact, not only Zhou Yu, but also several others could not see clearly what was going on outside the city. After all, the knight did not dare to get too close to the city wall in order to worry about the archers on the top of the city. I saw that the knight could barely catch up with the attack of the archers on the top of the city.
Outside the range, he ran back and forth to the left and right of the city wall for several rounds, holding the flagpole high, as if he wanted to let the Sun Wu soldiers on the wall see the head in his hand clearly. At the end, the knight stopped in the middle of the city wall.
He came down, held the flagpole with his backhand, roared angrily, and actually threw the flagpole directly towards the city head!
This knight was obviously a strong man specially selected by the Western Qin Army. The heavy flagpole flew directly to the top of the city when he threw it! Fortunately, Zhou Yu and others were well prepared and stepped aside to watch.
The flagpole flew over the city head and landed on the pillar of the tower in the middle of the city! The flagpole was deeply embedded in the pillar, and the human head hanging on the flagpole kept swinging back and forth with the flagpole.
General Sun Wu was obviously stunned by the opponent's move and didn't know what to do. However, Zhou Yu and other generals carefully observed the flagpole and made sure there was no trap before cautiously surrounding it. Before that,
, Zhou Yu also turned around and glanced outside the city. After the knight threw the flagpole, he turned his horse's head and returned to the Western Qin army. There seemed to be no movement from the Western Qin army.
"Ah! What, why is it him?" Just when Zhou Yu was wondering what the Western Qin army was playing outside the city, a cry of surprise suddenly sounded. Zhou Yu turned around and saw that it was Dong, the most daring among the generals.
Xi now came to the flagpole, held up the head with his hands, and shouted with astonishment: "This, this, isn't this Kuai Yue?"
"What?" As soon as Dong Xi's words fell, all the generals also exclaimed. Kuai Yue had been under Sun Wu's account for many years, and the generals were no strangers to Kuai Yue, so they stepped forward to identify him carefully. Sure enough, it was Kuai Yue.
The more you are right! Now all the generals were stunned. Previously, Kuai Yue was sent to Pengcheng as an envoy to ask for help from Liu Bei. This is a well-known thing, but now Kuai Yue's head was actually given away by the Western Qin Army.
Come over, the meaning of this, the generals can imagine it even if they think about it with their toes!
"Kuai Yue is dead?" Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard Dong Xi's words. It should be noted that now all the hopes of Guangling City have been pinned on Liu Bei's reinforcements. Now Kuai Yue is dead! Doesn't this mean Liu Bei's reinforcements?
Didn't he arrive as quickly as he thought? Zhou Yu couldn't believe this. He immediately rushed to the head and snatched it from Dong Xi's hand. He didn't care how disgusting and terrifying the head was and carefully identified it.
The head looked like that. But Zhou Yu looked up and down, left and right, but the result could only make Zhou Yu's heart sink to the bottom!
"Yes, it is indeed Kuai Yue!" Zhou Yu's whole body seemed to have been drained of all his strength in an instant. He staggered and took several steps backwards. If Chen Wu, who was behind Zhou Yu, had not been quick with his eyes and hands, he stretched out his hand to support him.
Zhou Yu was afraid that Zhou Yu would fall to the ground on his back! Although he stood firm with the help of Chen Wu and others, Zhou Yu's face was still pale and he murmured: "How could this happen? How could this happen?
so?"
It’s no wonder that Zhou Yu would lose his composure. Zhou Yu was very aware of Kuai Yue’s abilities. Although Kuai Yue was just a literati with no power to restrain a chicken, with Kuai Yue’s resourcefulness, if he wanted to avoid the pursuit of the Western Qin army, it would be difficult to
It should be foolproof! This is why Zhou Yu had thousands of conjectures before, even conjecturing the possibility that Kuai Yue was greedy for life and afraid of death and betrayed Sun Wu, but he never thought that Kuai Yue would be caught by the Western Qin army!
In fact, Zhou Yu's idea was correct, but all this was God's will. Who would have thought that Kuai Yue would meet Cao Ying on the way, but he would die inexplicably at the hands of such a weak woman! If Zhou Yu knew all this,
I'm afraid I can only sigh: "Heaven wants to destroy my Sun Wu!"
The news of Kuai Yue's death spread to all the Sun Wu soldiers on the city in an instant. This is also because today Zhou Yu gathered all the remaining Sun Wu soldiers in the north city in order to fight the enemy for the last battle.
Because of the door. In order to encourage the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely, the news that Kuai Yue was sent to Pengcheng to ask for help has spread among the soldiers in the past few days. Now they suddenly heard the bad news about Kuai Yue.
The morale that Zhou Yu and others had just managed to raise fell to the bottom in an instant! Many soldiers even dropped their weapons, sat down on the ground, and cried: "It's over now! It's over now!"
We are dead! We are dead!"
The atmosphere of fear was like fire meeting dry firewood, instantly spreading to the entire city. More and more soldiers had panic on their faces, and some soldiers seemed to be preparing to throw away their armor and weapons and sneak back into the city.
Become their responsibilities as common people!
"My lord! My lord! What should we do now?" Seeing the changes on the city, the generals tried their best to suppress the soldiers' panic, but with very little effect. They could no longer cope with the current situation.
, only entrusting his last hope to Zhou Yu, who was still in a daze, Zhu Huan stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Yu's arm, and pulled it a few times, which finally made Zhou Yu recover.
Zhou Yu, who had regained consciousness, looked around and immediately understood the current situation, but a helpless smile appeared on his face. When Sun Yi saw it, he immediately shouted to Zhou Yu: "Brother Gong Jin! We are now
What should we do? Otherwise, kill a few soldiers who dare to escape to show the moral integrity of the army!"
"No!" Zhou Yu was startled when he heard Sun Yi's suggestion. He quickly stopped Sun Yi from doing so and said in a deep voice: "You must not forcibly suppress the morale of the army. That will only make the soldiers more chilled and cause the defenders to completely
collapse!"
Sun Yi was not a fool. He was anxious just now because of the situation at the top of the city. Soon Sun Yi figured out the reason. However, Sun Yi still asked Zhou Yu anxiously: "But, but, can we
Just do nothing? If this continues, the morale of the army will be weakened, and we will not be able to stop the enemy's attack at all!"
Zhou Yu's face was full of bitterness. Unexpectedly, they had discussed all afternoon last night and finally came up with a good solution, but they were defeated by this sudden emergency! In fact, this cannot be said to be Zhou Yu's unwiseness.
It was because this situation was discovered so suddenly that Zhou Yu was not prepared at all, and was caught off guard by the Western Qin army. Zhou Yu lowered his head and thought hard for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly and said: "This Guangling City
, we can’t hold on any longer! Shubi, go to the city immediately to fetch the lord and his family, and let’s prepare to break out!”
