Zhou Yu was alert and was the first to react. In a hurry, he raised his sword to block it.
However, the soldiers under his command were not so lucky.
At this time, Sergeant Wu was holding a heart of revenge, thinking only of breaking into the enemy camp later, taking revenge, and making achievements. Who would have thought that in the darkness, the fangs of the god of death had already arrived.
A long rain of arrows fell into the Wu army. Countless Wu soldiers were shot to the ground by the sudden arrows. The screams suddenly rose up and were soon drowned out by the sound of rolling water.
Everything along the water bank for more than a hundred feet was covered by arrow nets. Sharp arrows like locusts burst out of the darkness, ruthlessly harvesting Wu Ru's life.
In the first moment, nearly six to seven hundred Wu Rui fell into a pool of blood.
When Wu Ru came to his senses, he raised his shield and waved his sword, trying with all his life to stop the god of death from seeking his life.
But in the darkness, his field of vision was less than a few feet in front of him, so how could he tell where the arrows were coming from? Wu Ru, who was panicked, could only wave his sword and gun desperately at this time, and fend off the incoming arrows wildly and without any plan.
.
"Captain, be careful——"
Dong Xi shouted and rushed forward, raised his big shield to protect Zhou Yu, and shouted in a deep voice: "Commander, we have been ambushed by Yan Liang's dog thief!"
At this moment, all Zhou Yu's confidence had been shattered. His handsome face was as gloomy as iron, and his eyes flashed with a complex look of anger and fear.
He felt that his dignity and wisdom had been humiliated once again, and the pain was as uncomfortable as a thousand arrows piercing the heart.
"Yan Liang dog thief——"
Zhou Yu was so shocked and angry that he no longer knew how to express his anger. He could only gnash his teeth and curse his old enemy.
Thousands of rain fell, and the miserable sound echoed in my ears.
On the other side of the darkness, Yan Liang was sitting high on his horse, listening quietly to Wu Ru's screams coming from not far away.
Xu Shu next to him sighed: "I didn't expect that Wu Ru's plan to reduce the number of soldiers was really a show of weakness. If my lord hadn't seen through Zhou Lang's plan, our army would have had disastrous consequences."
Yan Liang only smiled at Xu Shu's admiration, without much pride in his expression.
At this moment, he actually had some sincere admiration for Zhou Yu's resourcefulness.
Unfortunately, the opponent Zhou Yu faced was not Bie Jin, but Yan Liang, who possessed a "memory plug-in".
i When Zhang Liao informed him that Wu had entered Jiazao, Yan Liang was indeed a little happy at the first moment. He thought that the morale of the Wu army was in chaos and the soldiers began to flee. He also thought that this was the perfect opportunity to send troops to rob the camp.
However, Yan Liang soon realized that he was facing an extremely smart player like Zhou Yu, and every move must not be made easily.
After thinking deeply for a while, Yan Liang quickly remembered the Battle of Maling in history. How Sun Bin used the method of reducing the stove to induce Pang Juan to pursue. In the novel, Zhuge Liang seemed to have also used the method of increasing the stove to achieve the goal.
Same purpose.
Decrease the stove and pretend to retreat; increase the stove and pretend to attack.
These eight words quickly flashed into Yan Liang's mind.
Moreover, Yan Liang soon thought that Cheng Pu was an experienced veteran in the Wu army. With his ability, even if soldiers fled in the army, he should be prepared to prevent Yan Liang from seeing through the truth and taking the opportunity to rob the camp.
In this case, how could Cheng Pu not notice that Yan Liang might count his stoves?
Various reasonings quickly made Yan Liang suspicious of Wu Ru's motives.
So Yan Liang told Xu Shu his thoughts, and Xu Shu agreed with Yan Liang's guess after thinking deeply.
So tonight, at Ren Shu's suggestion, when Yan Liang sent Zhang Liao to lead his army to attack, his scouts were closely patrolling the waterfront near the camp.
As he expected, the Wu army took the water route and came to rob the camp at night.
After learning of the scout's report, Yan Liang quickly mobilized more than 10,000 troops to the shore, including 3,000 crossbowmen.
At this moment, he could use the long rain of arrows to warmly call to Wu Ru who had landed.
The dark night hid the figures of Yan Liang and his soldiers, but he could not clearly see the enemy figures either. However, Wu Ru's screams revealed their whereabouts. Yan Liang's crossbowmen did not need to see the enemy figures clearly.
, just look at where the sound is and shoot an arrow into the darkness.
The screams were endless, and to the ears of Yan Liang and his athletes, those shrill but helpless howls were like the most beautiful music, echoing in the dark night.
At the other end of the night, the unfortunate Wu Jun was struggling bitterly on the edge of death.
The large shield Dong Xi was carrying was already covered with arrows, but the rain of falling arrows did not weaken at all, and the nails were still splashing down.
Although Zhou Yu, who was hiding under the shield, survived, the soldiers around him were not so lucky.
Zhou Yu was determined to win this sneak attack, so he ordered the entire army to travel lightly and not carry many defensive weapons such as shields.
In Zhou Yu's opinion, he would lead his army and rush into the enemy camp with great force, and there would be no need to worry about Yan Jun's arrows. Or, he thought that Yan Jun would not have time to fire arrows at all.
But now, the cruel fact overturned all his imagination. These shieldless soldiers could not stop the enemy arrows as dense as locusts with their weapons alone. The sickle of death moved quickly among the panicked Wu army.
One hundred arrows... three hundred arrows... one thousand arrows... The dense arrows ruthlessly took away Wu Ru's life. Every scream was like a knife cutting into Zhou Yu's heart.
"Captain, the enemy's arrows are too fierce. This is not the way to go. Please quickly move up the boat and retreat into the water."
Dong Xi raised his shield and shouted.
Zhou Yu was familiar with the art of war. Of course he knew that his strategy had been defeated, his opponent had been prepared, and the casualties were serious. In this case, he had no choice but to retreat.
But Zhou Yu's humiliated dignity made him furious, and the raging anger turned into anger, which even went to his head.
"This general will never retreat. Send the order and attack with the whole army. Let me fight back against the enemy thieves -" Zhou Yu shouted angrily.
"Commander, we can't even see where the enemy is coming, how can we fight back?" Dong Xi asked in surprise.
Zhou Yu, however, couldn't listen to Dong Xi's words at all, and even pushed Dong Xi aside with force.
He waved his sword forward and shouted angrily: "Don't panic, all the troops. Go ahead and kill them all -"
Before the high-pitched cry ended, an arrow shot through the air and hit Zhou Yu's shoulder.
The severe pain shattered all Zhou Yu's anger in an instant, and his handsome face was distorted into shape. Under the severe pain, he staggered and fell to the side.
"Captain!" Dong Xi was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhou Yu.
A group of pro-army soldiers also rushed forward and protected Zhou Yu with their flesh and blood.
Zhou Yu's face was pale, and the wound on his shoulder was bleeding. He tried to struggle to get up, but was in too much pain to support himself.
When Dong Xi saw that Zhou Yu was wounded, he didn't care much. He hurriedly ordered Zhou Yu to be carried onto the ship, and shouted for the troops to retreat.
As if they had been granted amnesty, the Wu army rushed towards the stone beach. Thousands of people came in, and you fought for it, trying to escape and get on the boat.
On the other side of the darkness, Yan Liang's ears twitched slightly, and he was keenly aware that Wu Ru's howling sound seemed to be fading away.
"My lord, the enemy's cries are getting farther and farther. They must be unable to hold on any longer. They are retreating towards the shore. It's time to attack."
Xu Shu also saw clearly the situation of the enemy's invasion at the same time.
Yan Liang nodded slightly and ordered the crossbowmen to stop firing arrows. The buzzing sound that ripped through the air finally fell silent.
"Light the torch!" Yan Liang shouted.
Thousands of athletes from the Yan family army hurriedly lit the torches that had been prepared long ago, and the little bits of firelight converged into a bright light as bright as day, illuminating everything in the surrounding area clearly.
Under the light of the fire, the first thing he saw was the corpses scattered on the ground more than a hundred steps away. Looking towards the rocky beach, he saw countless Wu soldiers, rushing to push the boats and flee into the vortex.
"Ziqin, Lingqi, Che'er, I will order you and others to unite their infantry and cavalry, and attack the Wu army in three directions. Let's go and kill them."
When the order was given, the three cavalrymen left in excitement.
The sound of war drums rose up, shattering the silence of the night, and the dazzling torches tore through the darkness of the night.
Ten thousand Yanliang's troops, on foot and on horseback, surged out in three groups and killed Wu Ru, who was escaping from the shore.
Several hundred steps away, Wen Chou led his cavalry to attack first.
The steel spear was fired, ruthlessly stabbing the frightened Wu soldiers to the ground, and the iron hoofs stepped on them, smashing their flesh and blood bodies into pieces.
Zhou Yu, who had been wounded by an arrow, had lost the ability to command. Under such circumstances, the seven or eight thousand Wu troops were unable to organize an effective resistance and could only flee desperately.
At this time, the infantry and cavalry led by Lu Lingqi and Hu Che'er also came from both wings and harvested the Wu army's advance along the stone beach.
The three groups of soldiers and horses shattered the Wu army's will in an instant, and the screams rose up, overwhelming the sound of the war drums.
Corpses were scattered all over the rocky beach, and the blood flowing from the cracks in the rocks merged into the eddying water. Under the light of the fire, it formed a sickening red color.
After leaving thousands of corpses behind, less than half of the Wu army in panic managed to escape into the river.
Yan Jun, who pursued them to the water's edge, still did not give up and continued to use strong bows and crossbows to send off the remaining enemies, forcing Wu Jun to row desperately until he escaped from the range of the crossbows.
At this time, Yan Liang rode his horse to the water's edge, looking at the enemy ships escaping away from him, with a sneer on his lips, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Zhou, let's go—"
When Yan Liang drank like this, tens of thousands of soldiers on the shore also laughed and roared wildly.
"Zhou Lang, let's go——"
"Zhou Lang, let's go——"
That roar full of irony shook the earth and echoed in the night.
On the boat, Zhou Yu, who was lying on the deck, was already a little drowsy, but he was awakened by the deafening screams in his ears.
Zhou Yu, who gradually regained consciousness, endured the severe pain and sat up, listening to the distant shouts.
"Zhou Lang, it's easy to go... Zhou Lang, it's easy to go..."
When Zhou Lang heard the humiliating cry clearly, he felt a wave of angry blood rushing into his chest like a volcano erupting. He screamed and fainted immediately.
