Chapter 521: Fate leads to Ling Cao’s death in battle
"Puff...Puff..." There was a sound of falling into the water, and Jiang Qin and four others were knocked off the boat at the same time. The most pitiful one was Ling Cao, who was slashed in the chest by Sun Lang and almost disemboweled. However, even if
Even though he was seriously injured, Ling Cao was carried by Ling Tong and jumped into the river.
"Want to run?" How could Gan Ning let Jie go? He raised his long bow and shot at the four of them. The arrow flashed past like a shooting star.
"Don't..." Sun Lang was startled and subconsciously blocked Gan Ning. Unfortunately, his speed was too slow and the long arrow had already been shot. The only good thing was that Gan Ning's hand shook slightly due to his interference.
"Hmm..." Although a slight shake when shooting an arrow will affect the shooting accuracy, Gan Ning's archery skills are not ordinary. Even if they deviate a little, they can at most allow Jiang Qin and the others to avoid their vital points.
I don't know if it was fate, but Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai both escaped Gan Ning's long arrow, leaving only a trace of scar on their shoulders, but Ling Cao's fate was not so good. Gan Ning's arrow shot at Ling Cao was indeed deflected.
The arrow shot at Ling Tong also missed. The problem was that Ling Cao was being held up by Ling Tong, and the arrow that strayed away from Ling Tong hit Ling Cao's neck! When Ling Tong pulled Ling Cao onto another ship
By that time, Ling Cao had already died!
"Father..." After reading his father's breath and dying, Ling Tong looked at the blood on his hands. Ling Tong went crazy. He shouted to the sky, wielded the sword fiercely and wanted to kill Gan Ning!
"Public performance, no!" Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai quickly stopped Ling Tong regardless of their injuries. Just fighting Gan Ning like this is no different from dying. But Ling Tong, whose eyes were red, had already lost his mind! In desperation, Jiang
Qin could only knock him out with one palm.
"Lord, my subordinates are incompetent!" Although the navy army has not yet been defeated, Ling Cao's death was undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of Jiangdong Army. Jiang Qin asked Zhou Tai to command the army, and he personally sent Ling Tong to Sun Quan!
"Alas..." Sun Quan sighed and said, "There are many fierce generals in Liu Zhang's army. You don't have to blame yourself. It's all my fault. If I don't let you fight generals, General Ling Cao will not die! You continue to command the battle."
, leave the public performance to me!”
"Yes!" Another defeat filled Jiang Qin's heart with regret. He immediately returned to his headquarters, preparing to teach Gan Ning a deep lesson during the battle between the two armies. Unfortunately, his wish could never be realized. Jiangdong Navy and Liu Zhang Shui
The army has always been in a tie. This is because Jiangdong's ships are better!
"Lord, the Yizhou army has been defeated!" The battle on the river was at a stalemate, but Liu Zhang's army was at a disadvantage in the infantry battle. Dong Xi and He Qi were unable to deal with fierce generals, but they could deal with a combination like Wu Yi
General Xing was easy to capture. After all, Wu Yi's abilities were average, but there was nothing particularly outstanding about him.
"Send the signal, it's time for the ambush troops to come out!" Seeing that Wu Yi was indeed going to be defeated, Liu Zhang frowned, and he had to let the last ambush troops attack.
"Whoosh whoosh..." Three sharp beeps sounded, and Sun Quan couldn't help frowning and groaning in his heart. Because he forgot to ask the scouts if there was an ambush nearby. However, there is no need to ask now!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." There was an inexplicable scream, and a group of savages were seen running out of the forest behind Jiangdong Army. These people were holding various weapons, including broadswords, maces, and giant axes. The most shocking thing was
The scary thing is that there are more than a hundred giant beasts among them.
"Barbarians?" Looking at the clothes of this group of people, the general who had fought against Shan Yue immediately guessed the identities of these people.
"Lord, retreat!" Looking at the barbarians rushing towards them, Zhang Hong, who was standing next to Sun Quan, said helplessly: "The barbarians are fierce and our army cannot resist them, not to mention the threat of Liu Zhang's army!"
"Withdraw?" Sun Quan's blue eyes were filled with fire, and he shouted angrily: "If I can't take my mother back, how can I show my face to the people of the world? Send me an order to let Lu Meng's troops resist the barbarians. I must defeat Liu Zhang today."
, take back mother."
"Don't act on impulse!" Lu Su understood that if he persisted, Jiangdong would be defeated. He quickly advised: "My lord, when Cao Cao sends troops, Liu Zhang's military strength will be weakened, and then he can take back the old lady. If you don't retreat now,
Our army is defeated, maybe even Jiangdong belongs to others..."
"Shut up, do you want to disturb the morale of our army?" Sun Quan glared at Lu Su and said: "It is my mother who is being taken captive now. Of course you don't care, but if I retreat, how will the people in the world look at me? I have made up my mind.
No need to say more!"
"Kill!" The barbarians are no more murderous than the Han people. They live a hard life and often kill each other. Although their lives have been much better under Liu Zhang's care in recent years, their ferocity has not weakened at all. Only
Tens of thousands of barbarians, led by King Mulu and Gaoding, were seen fighting into the Jiangdong Army.
"What is that?" There was a cry from the Jiangdong Army. Although they were in Jiangdong, close to foreigners, few people in the Jiangdong Army had seen elephants. More than a hundred war elephants wearing vine armor rushed into the formation, as if
Armored tanks and riders armed with spears and swords almost effortlessly harvested the lives of Jiangdong soldiers.
"There is a monster..." Jiangdong's soldiers collapsed. Even Liu Zhang's soldiers may not be able to remain calm when they suddenly encounter an elephant.
"Retreat..." Although Sun Quan recognized the elephant, he didn't know the weakness of the elephant. He could defeat people, but he couldn't defeat animals. Seeing that Jiangdong's army was being forced to retreat, he couldn't ignore it even if he didn't want to retreat.
The lives of Jiangdong soldiers.
"Withdraw the troops!" Sun Quan left, and Liu Zhang did not want to be aggressive. After all, it was not the time for a full-scale war with Jiangdong. What he needed was time. The use of more than 100,000 troops already made Liu Zhang very distressed about money and food!
Sun Quan did not retreat too far, he just returned to Wuling City for training, and Liu Zhang did not retreat too far. He retreated to Bajun and asked Wu Yi to stick to Fuguan. Of course, the original guards of Fuguan, Yang Huai and Gao Pei,
Liu Zhang has been transferred to Chengdu to guard the city gate. These two brothers are not very capable and like to be smart. Liu Zhang can't trust them to guard the front line.
Bajun, City Guards Mansion. Since he had brought Mrs. Sun here, Liu Zhang had no reason not to meet his mother-in-law. After defeating Sun Quan, he cleaned himself up and came to the wing of the City Guards Mansion. He saw Mrs. Xu accompanying Mrs. Sun.
While they were chatting, Liu Zhang immediately stepped forward to salute and addressed him as his mother-in-law.
"Mr. Qin, you are the Duke of the Han Dynasty, but I am only the mother of your concubine. Why do you need such a courtesy?" Although she was satisfied with Liu Zhang's attitude, Mrs. Sun was still a little uncomfortable. In her opinion, if Liu Zhang hadn't used his plan,
, the Sun brothers don’t know Ni Qiang.
"Mother-in-law is wrong!" Liu Zhang said sternly; "I dare not say anything else, but my women are not divided into wives and concubines. They sleep next to me and are the closest people to me, so why should they be divided into different ranks?
Maybe you think I'm a bit boastful, but you can't deny my heart! Even if I ascend the throne and become emperor in the future, there will be no distinction between wives and concubines. Of course, this refers to the wives and concubines who have always been by my side!"
"This..." Mrs. Sun's eyes were full of surprise. She didn't expect Liu Zhang to care so much about his wives and concubines. However, she was not surprised, because the letter Sun Shangxiang wrote to her was full of Liu Zhang's good things! She stared at Liu Zhang for a long time.
Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "I have made a mistake. Please don't blame me, Mr. Qin!"
"What the hell!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "The old lady is Xiang'er's mother and my mother-in-law. If you don't want to abandon me, you can call me Ji Yu, which will make me more friendly!"
"This...isn't good!" Mrs. Sun was a little hesitant. After all, her status was different, and she really didn't dare to call Liu Zhang that way.
"There's nothing wrong with you. You are my mother-in-law. Although a married daughter throws away water, as a son-in-law, if he disrespects his mother-in-law, wouldn't it be against filial piety? Since you are about to live in my jurisdiction, this filial piety,
I still want to enter!" Liu Zhang looked at Mrs. Sun, his face was full of sincerity, not just to show off, but to respect this old lady from the bottom of his heart!
"Then I'm not welcome!" Seeing Liu Zhang's sincere face, Mrs. Sun smiled and asked: "Ji Yu, if you invite me to Chang'an, how are you going to arrange for me?"
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, I invite you here for no other reason than for Xiang'er's sake!" Liu Zhang knew that Mrs. Sun didn't trust him, so he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.
"For Xiang'er?" Mrs. Sun asked with some confusion: "Zhongmou is just trying to find out some secrets through Xiang'er. As long as Mr. Qin pays attention, there shouldn't be any problems!"
"Mother-in-law, the most important thing between husband and wife is trust. If trust is lost, they will be in the same bed with different dreams. What's the point of such a couple?" Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "Actually, Xiang'er doesn't want to work for Sun Quan, but as long as my mother-in-law is in Jiangdong,
Sun Quan will use you to destroy the relationship between Xiang'er and me. Once or twice, I can forgive it, but I am a prince, if there is always someone around me who betrays me, do you think I can tolerate it?"
"This..." Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "Ji Yu, Zhongmou shouldn't be able to do anything except use Xiang'er to gather some information. Why are you so defensive?"
"Mother-in-law, you are wrong again!" Liu Zhang sighed; "Sun Quan is a heartless person. If he wanted to do it, he would have many bad ideas! For example, Xiang'er is now pregnant with Liujia and will give birth soon. She will give birth soon.
Later, Sun Quan used your critical illness as bait and asked Xiang'er to take her children back to Jiangdong to see you. With Xiang'er's character, she would definitely fall into the trap. If I stopped her, wouldn't she hate me? If I didn't stop her, would she really go to Jiangdong?
, Sun Quan will definitely detain their mother and son to threaten me."
Thinking about Sun Shangxiang and Sun Quan in history, Liu Zhang felt a little depressed. Sun Quan took advantage of her twice in a row, which almost caused Liu Bei to suffer a big loss. Poor Sun Shangxiang married Liu Bei, a half-old man, at a young age, and was taken advantage of by his brother. In the end, because he didn't know
How sad it is that the military situation jumped into the river and favored love. Since Liu Zhang married Sun Shangxiang, he would not let her fall into the tragedy of history. Now that Mrs. Sun has moved into Chang'an, Sun Quan has no bait! However, Sun Shangxiang is fine, and Mrs. Sun still has to
It was sad for a while, after all, Sun Quan is also the son of Mrs. Sun, and he is quite filial!
