While Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army were fighting a fierce battle, the few Yizhou defenders in Chengdu also sensed a turning point.
The Yizhou soldiers could feel that the enemy's offensive seemed to have become much weaker in an instant.
Originally, our own army was being tightly oppressed by the Jiangdong Army. If this continued, I was afraid that we would not be able to hold on for much longer and our entire army would be annihilated.
But just when all the Yizhou soldiers thought that they were at the end of their rope, Jiangdong Army's offensive suddenly became lax.
The pressure dropped suddenly.
"Reinforcements have arrived. We will fight hard and defend Chengdu!" Although he did not know the specific changes that occurred, Yan Yan also knew that an opportunity to counterattack had arisen.
Yan Yan made a wild guess that Zhang Ren might have anticipated the crisis in Chengdu and bypassed Mianzhu to come to the rescue.
Although his guess was wrong, the Yizhou Army was now in high spirits because of his words, "Reinforcements have arrived." The morale of the Yizhou Army soldiers who saw the dawn of hope soared, and their combat effectiveness increased a lot.
Yan Yan held up a big sword and rushed to the front to kill the Jiangdong Army soldiers.
Yan Yan was over sixty years old, and his beard and hair were all gray, but he was still strong and strong, and he still retained his might. With a swing of his long sword, he killed countless enemy soldiers. Although Yan Yan's martial arts skills were not as good as those of Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others.
He is a fierce general, but when facing these ordinary soldiers, he still cuts them one by one without any hesitation. His old figure actually looks very powerful.
A general's bloody battle can greatly stimulate the soldiers' fighting spirit. If a white-haired veteran general fights bravely in front of the army, the effect will be even more significant.
The old generals are so brave and good at fighting. Why can't we fight bravely when we are in our prime? This is what all Yizhou soldiers are thinking right now.
Witnessing Yan Yan's majesty, the Yizhou Army soldiers all rose up and fought to the death.
Lu Meng hoped to use a thousand soldiers to deal with the same number of Yizhou Army soldiers, which was correct. However, he ignored the courage of the Yizhou defenders to fight for victory under the leadership of Yan Yan.
But even if he takes this into consideration, he probably has no other choice. After all, the Cao army in the rear is the greater threat, and he must ensure its annihilation. In this way, the number of soldiers used to contain the Yizhou army is destined to be insufficient.
There could be so many.
Lu Meng and Zhang Fei faced the Cao army behind them together. The one who led the thousand men now was Lu Su. Lu Su was also a hero from Jiangdong and had great military talents. Unfortunately, in this kind of head-to-head battle, bravery and courage were obviously better than strategy.
more important.
Moreover, in this kind of contest with a small number of troops, the role of the bravery of the generals is immeasurable. Although Lu Su has the ability to lead the army, he is very lacking in martial arts. As a scribe,
The sword on his waist is more like a decoration. Although he has also practiced some swordsmanship, it can be used to deal with ordinary soldiers. If he meets a general like Yan Yan, he will probably be killed in one move.
Lu Su was not a timid person, on the contrary, he was quite courageous. However, when he saw the enemy general taking the lead in killing his own soldiers, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Lu Su could see that the Yizhou Army had gained the upper hand in terms of momentum. If the Yizhou Army was allowed to continue killing like this, it would be a matter of time before his thousand men were defeated.
Lu Su couldn't help but become a little anxious. He couldn't defeat his thousand men. Once defeated, Lu Meng's side would be attacked from both front and rear, and the whole army would be annihilated.
But now that the two armies met on a narrow road, resourcefulness was of no use at all, and they could only rely on head-on confrontation between the soldiers on both sides. Lu Su racked his brains, but still couldn't think of a way to reverse the decline.
Now the soldiers of Jiangdong Army were showing signs of retreat. Although Yan Yan was old, he became more and more courageous as he fought. There was a sign of radiance in his whole body, and he was obviously getting more and more excited as he fought.
Especially when he gradually saw the hope of victory, Yan Yan felt a little excited in her heart.
In comparison, Lu Su and Lu Zijing, who were usually calm and composed, now showed a sad face, worried about the war.
After his face changed several times, Lu Su finally showed a determined look.
He pulled out the sword from his waist and decided to go to the battlefield in person.
Now that the situation is unfavorable and the morale of the entire army is low, only by personally participating in the battle can we inspire the morale of the army and make it possible to turn the situation around.
Seeing that Lu Su wanted to kill the enemy with his own sword, the soldiers responsible for protecting him were all frightened. They hurriedly stopped in front of him and knelt down to dissuade Lu Su from taking risks.
Although Lu Su is not a weakling with no strength, he is not a brave general with outstanding martial arts. As the battlefield is said to be dangerous, if Lu Su has any good intentions, the thousand people will be defeated immediately, and Jiangdong will be even more dangerous.
A big pillar was lost because of this.
For people like Lu Su, it is their duty to strategize, and charging into battle should be insulated from them.
What's more, it is the duty of these soldiers to protect Lu Su. If anything bad happened to Lu Su, they might all be buried alive, so no soldier dared to let Lu Su go into battle.
