Chapter 379: Famous through the ages, Zhang Liao stopped crying [Subscribe]

At midnight, the moonlight is bright.

Song Qian was a powerful general from Jiangdong and had followed Sun Ce in battle in his early years.

He is twenty-nine years old, with thick eyebrows and a square face. He is only slightly taller than ordinary people, but very sturdy. He is wearing armor and holding a halberd.

He and Lu Meng were lying behind a gentle slope slightly higher than the ground, staring at the ferry ahead.

There are thousands of soldiers hiding behind the two men.

In history, Lu Meng would later kill Guan Yu by crossing the river in white clothes.

He is a very intelligent person.

"How sure are you that Cao's army will land here? Why not Wujin as before?" Song Qian lowered his voice.

"If Cao Wei really had the confidence to annihilate our army, this time they would have chosen a flat land close to Jianye to land."

Lu Meng looked out over the river and said, "The river here is wide and deep.

You see, there aren't many suitable places for a large ship that can carry both cavalry and horses to dock within a hundred miles.

This is the right place for you.”

"Given Cao's arrogance, they should use this place as a landing place, and once they get ashore, they can ride their horses and attack Jianye."

Song Qian nodded, acknowledging that Lu Meng's analysis made sense.

"If I'm not mistaken, Cao's army will come again tonight or tomorrow night."

Lu Meng said again: "This battle is of vital importance to Jiangdong. If we lose..."

Before the two finished their words, a scout approached from a distance and reported in a low voice:

"Generals, the lookouts on the river have spotted three enemy ships."

"Send a message to the rear army, we have spotted the enemy here, send them to reinforce us immediately," said Lu Meng.

The scout sped away.

"coming."

The moon is full on the river bank.

The outlines of three large ships appeared on the surging Yangtze River.

Due to the draft depth, turning problems and other issues, the Dawei is more suitable for sailing on the sea.

Its limit is Wujin, east of the Yangtze River estuary.

The three Cao army ships that are coming down now are between large fighting ships and tower ships.

The three ships were just enough to accommodate Zhang Liao, the Xianzhen Camp, and even Cao Cao's personal cavalry.

Behind the gentle slope on the shore, Song Qian and Lu Meng crouched down, their eyes fixed on the river.

Three large ships approached the river bank.

Then there was a raft, which was quickly pulled out by a small boat towed behind the big ship.

Multiple rafts are connected and extended to the shore to form a floating bridge.

It was the first time that Song Qian and Lu Meng saw a large ship towing a small boat and a raft, and then the small boat towed the raft to the shore to form a "floating bridge" for beach landing. They were both stunned.

This was a method of cavalry landing that Cao Cao came up with by borrowing from the later method of building pontoon bridges.

The craftsmen in Caoying made repeated attempts and calculated the buoyancy, and finally installed cowhide floats under the raft to form a landing 'floating bridge'.

At this time, Cao's army on the boat flipped over the sampans one by one to form a slope.

The men and horses got off the boat, stepped onto the pontoon bridge and went directly ashore.

Its speed and process were much faster than the cavalry landing method at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Generally speaking, it takes time for the cavalry to go ashore, form up their battle formation, and check their horses' equipment.

And this period of time is the best time to ambush and attack them.

So Lu Meng and Song Qian chose to set up an ambush here.

But Cao's army's landing methods were unprecedented.

The speed of landing was even more unexpected.

"Shoot or not?"

"They were well prepared, and some of them came down with shields. As soon as the arrows were released, they would immediately raise their shields upwards to form a protective surface, and the arrows would have very limited lethality."

Lu Meng took a deep breath and said, "Let's kill them!"

Song Qian stood up suddenly.

The Jiangdong troops in the rear kept pressing forward, and their numbers far outnumbered Cao's army.

"Just go meet General Cao!"

Song Qian climbed onto the warhorse sent from the rear and led his troops towards the Cao Wei heavy cavalry that had landed.

However, they suddenly heard the sharp sound of crossbow arrows.

"The Cao army actually shot first?"

"How can their arrows shoot so far?"

The distance between the ship and the shore, plus the distance from the landing to their ambush position, was a full two hundred and fifty feet.

Except for powerful crossbows, other arrows simply do not have such a long effective shooting range.

And if it is a powerful crossbow, the number of people who can sit on the ground and pedal the crossbows on the three ships must be limited.

However, the arrows shot by the Wei army were so dense and numerous that it was obvious that they were not powerful crossbows that could be used on the ground.

Jiangdong did not attack with arrows. It was the Wei army that rushed to the beach and suppressed them with arrows.

The troops around him fell to the ground one after another, shot by arrows.

On the opposite ship, crossbowmen kept appearing.

Under the cover of these crossbowmen, Cao's heavy cavalry and the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp landed in an orderly manner, checked the saddles, and then took up their weapons, mounted their horses and prepared for battle.

The time was just enough for the heavy cavalry to complete their landing preparations.

The coordination of Cao's army was very clever, with one thing leading to another.

Lu Meng and Song Qian simultaneously tightened their spears and halberds in their hands, feeling heavy in their hearts.

Their ambush did not have the desired effect.

The two armies came into direct confrontation.

"Kill!"

When Zhang Liao gave the order, the Xianzhen Camp led by Gao Shun, who was composed of more than seventy cavalrymen, followed closely and headed towards Song Qian and Lu Meng.

"Let's see who can kill the opponent first?" Zhang Liao said!

"Good!" Gao Shun was frugal with words.

He held a long-handled wolf-tooth hammer in his left hand and a square shield in his right hand.

Clang——

The two armies met.

Song Qian also held a halberd in his hand and pointed it at Zhang Liao's chest!

Zhang Liao swung his halberd horizontally, and the weapons collided.

Song Qian's halberd swung backwards and he was at a disadvantage.

But Zhang Liao's strength was not enough to crush him.

Song Qian's confidence increased suddenly, and he was not surprised but happy.

But the next moment, Zhang Liao's halberd burst out. Song Qian's second halberd was attacked by Zhang Liao, and he was forced to switch from offense to defense in the middle of the stab.

Zhang Liao's halberd tip was divided, like two dragons poking their heads out, one real and one fake, stabbing Song Qian's neck from the left and right.

Song Qian couldn't see the trajectory of the halberd's tip, so he leaned back and tried to avoid it.

However, the speed of the halberd tip increased suddenly, as if it had shrunk the spatial obstacles out of thin air, and appeared at Song Qian's throat.

The military strategist's magical power of war strategy, creating something out of nothing, turning one halberd into two blades... This was Song Qian's last thought.

By the time he reacted, the tip of Zhang Liao's halberd had just passed by.

Song Qian felt all the strength in his body pouring out from his neck, and he fell off his horse.

There was a bloody hole in his throat.

On the other side, Gao Shun approached Lu Meng and swung a long-handled hammer to fight against Lu Meng.

During the fight, Gao Shun suddenly activated his military talent, absorbing the strength of eight hundred troops, and his combat power suddenly increased.

He smashed out with his shield, and half of the face of the warhorse under Lu Meng collapsed. With a scream, the horse fell down with Lu Meng.

Gao Shun swung the hammer and hit him in the chest.

Lu Meng jumped up on his horse and used his spear to block the incoming shield.

But he only felt a huge force pressing down on him, and the spear in his hand was swung away, leaving the door wide open.

Gao Shun's third blow of the hammer hit his shoulder blade.

With a scream, Lu Meng fell into the crowd behind him, and his life or death was unknown.

Two Jiangdong generals were killed one after another during the battle.

But in the rear, more people from Jiangdong were rushing up.

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao immediately mobilized their troops.

The heavy cavalry and the vanguard soldiers joined forces to break into the enemy's formation and charge towards Jianye.

Twilight.

Outside Jianye City, there was a surge of shouts of killing.

Judging from the numbers, the Cao army led by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun had been trapped and besieged.

At this moment, outside Jianye City, there were tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers and horses.

But the combined might of Cao's army was so strong that it was invincible.

Zhang Liao's halberd was flying, and his men were almost no match for him!
On the city wall of Jianye, generals from Jiangdong kept jumping down to lead their troops and join the battle, but they were killed one after another after the fighting.

The heavy cavalry led by Zhang Liao pushed the front line, launched a "snap attack", pushed through the crowd, and approached the city gate.

Although Cao's army was smaller, they were the more powerful side.

More than seventy heavy cavalrymen joined together, and a tangible storm of soldiers formed around the team, like a rolling blade.

This is Cao's army's trump card, and it is also the reason why they dare to attack the Jiangdong base camp with thousands of troops.

On the top of the city wall, the Jiangdong generals all discovered that as long as their troops got close to the gathered forces of Cao's army, they would be swept in by the outer troops, just like being attacked by thousands of swords, and their flesh and blood would be torn into pieces as soon as they met them.

"How can they use their military might to generate real attack power and strangle our army?"

A Jiangdong general was standing on the top of the city wall and asked in astonishment, "How can we stop this?"

In recent years, the energy of heaven and earth has changed, and military generals have gained mythical martial fortune and their combat power has soared.

The soldiers also gradually developed a military force of mythical level!
Cao Wei's heavy cavalry is currently the only team that can gather strength to form such a substantial military force.

The troops they gathered together were not afraid of numbers at all.

Anyone who gets close will be strangled to death by the soldiers.

The combined might of the entire army was like a turning blood wheel, breaking through the resistance of the Jiangdong Army.

Among the tens of thousands of people outside Jianye City, half of them were from the gentry, and they had no courage to die.

Seeing the heavy cavalry of the Wei army passing by, they would kill anyone who was touched by their spears.

These Jiangdong soldiers were all filled with fear.

As the fighting continued, some Jiangdong troops retreated quietly, no longer daring to resist Cao's army.

This is the phenomenon known in history books as "the powerful are defeated and flee."

The Jiangdong army was afraid and hesitated to move forward, and the defeat was obvious.

While being surrounded by thousands of troops, Zhang Liao on his horse continued to gather the sword energy into his body, and his blood and energy surged.

He felt as if he had entered a special state.

The shouting and killing around me, the enemy and our own armies, everything was fading away.

And his conscious perception seemed to encompass everything.

There has never been a moment when Zhang Liao's grasp of the battlefield was so delicate and clear.

He seemed to have become the battlefield itself, a part of this vast world.

Suddenly, Zhang Liao stood up on his horse and took a step into the air, presenting a mythical scene.

He walks in the void.

The battlefield suddenly became quiet.

Zhang Liao threw the halberd in his hand.

The halberd gathered the martial power of the entire army, and even the power of the heaven and earth, and it struck out like a giant lightning bolt!
Boom——

The gate of Jianye city exploded.

In the Sun family mansion in the city, Sun Quan was feeling uneasy.

The sudden loud noise made his heart tighten.

A moment later, a soldier came to report: "The Wei army broke through the city gate and entered the city."

At the city gate, Zhang Liao personally led the charge and rushed into the city.

At this time, Zhang Liao had killed hundreds of people from Jiangdong, including seven well-known generals, and his body was covered in blood.

The siege formed by tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops was crushed by Zhang Liao and 800 soldiers.

After this battle, the phenomenon of "Zhang Liao stops crying" will appear in Jiangdong and his name will be passed down through the ages!
Once you enter the city, there are buildings and streets, but there is not as much pressure and resistance as outside the city where there are crowds of people.

Cao's army rushed into the city like a long dragon and advanced rapidly.

Sun Quan walked out of the hall and looked at the approaching bloody army from afar.

"Sun Quan, come out!"

Cao's army shouted in unison, their voices like thunder.

Sun Quan in the mansion couldn't help but tremble slightly.

I won’t go out... This was his last act of stubbornness.

At this time, Zhang Zhao, who was beside Sun Quan, handed him a leather scroll.

"What?"

Sun Quan was a little surprised. What did Zhang Zhao hand him at this time?
Sun Quan unfolded the scroll and took a look. He was immediately shocked: "This is the King of Wei...Mr. Zhang, you, you..."

Sun Quan was surprised and surprised. He looked at Zhang Zhao, then lowered his head to look at the leather scroll in his hand, and tears suddenly fell from his eyes.

"The inheritance of my father and brother is just...gone like that?"
