Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 390
On August 24, when Sun Quan patted the female wall of Zheqi City and roared hysterically where his reinforcements were, Guan Yu had already led the main force into the camp in the distance.

After the camps of Pan Zhang's and Zhu Ran's camps were breached, a large number of Jingzhou troops poured in and occupied their camps.

Afterwards, they turned their backs on the enemy, using their camps and defensive facilities, and carried out the encirclement and suppression of the remaining Jiangdong Army through the network of barracks, buildings and forts extending in all directions.

If you look at it from the outside, the construction of Ruxukou looks like a series of docks on the water. The forts on the land are normal military forts, while the water fortresses in the south and west are connected by water villages.

Under normal circumstances, Jiangdong Group's navy is extremely powerful.Even if the camps on the outer land were breached, they could still cut off the trestle bridges connecting the outer camps, and use criss-cross water villages and ships on the river to defend.

But at this time, the Jingzhou navy controlled the river, and the Jiangdong army at Ruxukou was at a loss. They could not use their ships to fight back, and they had no way to retreat. They were heavily surrounded by Guan Yu's army and fell into a desperate situation.

As a last resort, He Qi, Pan Zhang and others could only choose to use the complex terrain to start a desperate street battle with the enemy.

Guan Yu rode a red rabbit horse through the school grounds of the middle camp, with only a few hundred guards around him, because most of the soldiers had already gone to the front line, and the middle camp had been controlled by his soldiers.

"General."

Zhou Cang walked over covered in blood, panting and said: "In front is their water building, where buildings are connected to buildings, forts are connected to forts, and the forts are connected by village bridges. The interior is extremely complicated. Not easy to break through."

Guan Yu said in a deep voice, "Can you attack with fire?"

Zhou Cang shook his head: "We tried, but they put a lot of buckets in the camp, and the river is connected to it below. Every time they tried to light a fire, they were poured out with water, and they also destroyed some village bridges themselves. Can attack from a ship."

"Take me to see."

Guan Yu rode his horse forward. When he was on the boat, he only saw the situation of Wubao on the outskirts of Nanying, but the inside was still not clear, so he had to go to the field to observe it.

Going all the way to Nanying, Nanying is not an outer wall, but a wooden high-rise building. The buildings are connected into one piece, which is extremely complicated.

It was impossible to ride a horse here, so Guan Yu let the soldiers lead the horse, and under the leadership of Zhou Cang and others, he climbed to the tall building and looked at the opposite Nanying.

I saw that the whole camp was like a deep house compound, the outer part extended to the inside through the water walled bridge, the camp gate opposite was like a dock, there were several ships nearby, and there were three arrow towers on the left and right sides.

His soldiers were at the middle camp on the opposite bank below. Because the arrow tower was condescending, the long-range firepower was suppressed, making it impossible for the soldiers to forcefully rush across the Zhaiqiao connecting the two sides.

And this is just one of the gates of the camp. Farther away, the wooden fence wall of the Nanying extends all the way to the east and west sides. There is a village bridge in the middle that connects the Zhongying and Nanying. Thousands of people are facing each other.

In the further north direction, Ma Chao's main attack on the North Camp side, he is personally leading the soldiers to charge with shields, baffles and other objects.

But the enemy's defense was tight, the gate of the village was closed, and arrows were shot down from above. Due to the narrow terrain, ladders and other equipment could not pass through, which made Ma Chao very passive.

Even the Zhaiqiao in some places was completely destroyed, and the Jingzhou Army could only watch from the other side of the bridge.

However, due to the limited terrain, it is not easy for the army to attack by force, but the navy is advantageous.

Huang She and Gan Ning ordered the boats to stay close to their camp, and through the ladders on the boats, hooked the opposite wall, and climbed into the enemy's camp.

Seeing this scene, Guan Yu pointed to that side and said, "Let the soldiers cooperate with the navy to break in from the southwest."

Zhou Cang replied: "The major general has gone."

"Take me to see."

Guan Yu said.

Zhou Cang took Guan Yu down the village building, and went west along the corridor passage below.

The Jingzhou army was shooting arrows with the Jiangdong army on the other side everywhere on the road. Some Jingzhou troops continued to attack under the organization of officers. Guan Yu was extremely satisfied with the overall quality.

It is said that the southern soldiers are not as good as the northern soldiers. When the Jingzhou Army was under Liu Biao's command, it was indeed a mob. They were defeated by Cao Jun in several battles.

But in the hands of Shen Chen for more than ten years, the overall level of the Jingzhou Army has become an elite soldier comparable to the strong soldiers in the north. This is enough to prove that the quality of soldiers has nothing to do with whether they are southerners or northerners, but depends on who leads the troops General ability.

Guan Yu walked for more than a mile along the passage of the corridor, and came to the southwest wall of the village. He watched from the tall building and saw that the battle here had reached a fever pitch.

The Jingzhou navy launched a fierce attack from the outer wall of the fort on the water in the west of Ruxushui. Because the height of the wall is higher than that of the ships, under normal circumstances, the Jiangdong Army should have a greater geographical advantage.

But their army is too small.

The [-] Jingzhou Army surrounded the Jiangdong Army in Ruxukou on the inner and outer floors of the Jiangdong Army. They fought for days and died. With a Jingzhou army, one can imagine how much defensive pressure there is.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the Jiangdong Army's defense is like a sieve, and the wind leaks from all sides. It often loses the other side after defending one side. .

In the southwestern corner of the area stretching half a mile from Ruxushui in the west to the northeast, the two sides are fighting fiercely.

The navy outside the camp launched an attack on the west wall through ladders, and on the waterway connecting the middle camp and the south camp in the north, Guan Ping and his death squads carried ladders and kept attacking the Jiangdong army's camp.

When Guan Yu arrived, there was a loud noise, and a wall of the village over there was breached. The soldiers on a boat unexpectedly used an ax to cut a gap in the outer fence, and then charged Going in, taking advantage of the insufficient number of enemies, broke through a camp gate in the north.

The gate of the camp fell down. Guan Ping was overjoyed to see this, and immediately led the soldiers into the camp. The upper towers of both sides flew their bows and arrows at each other. Launch a fierce attack on the inside.

Seeing this, Guan Yu knew that the opportunity must not be missed, and immediately said to Zhou Cang, "Take someone and follow me in."

"Yes."

Zhou Cang hurriedly shouted back.

Immediately, hundreds of Guan Yu's personal guards surrounded Guan Yu and rushed to the Zhai Bridge outside. Below was the Ruxu River. The surface of the river seemed to be soaked in blood. There were many corpses of enemy and enemy soldiers, wooden shields and various flags floating.

When Guan Yu rushed in, Guan Ping had already rushed to the front. Guan Yu didn't choose to rush in, but pointed to the left and said, "Go, open the other camp gates for me too."

"go!"

Zhou Cang shouted loudly and led the soldiers to march north.

Because Shuishangwubao is like a maze-like village building, each opening is connected to the corridor, and there are stairs to climb upstairs, so it is still very complicated.

Guan Yu and the soldiers had no choice but to walk northward along the corridor, and soon came to a camp gate. They rushed upstairs to deal with the archers above, and then went down to open the bolt of the camp gate and put it outside. soldiers come in.

After repeating this, they soon opened three camp gates. There were seven camp gates in the three-mile-long outer wall of the southern camp. At this time, nearly half of them were open, and the Jingzhou army outside poured in like a tide.

The Jiangdong army inside saw that the outer wall of the village had been breached, so they had to continue to shrink inward. A large number of Jingzhou troops began to rush in. The two sides fought desperately on the tower, on the village bridge, beside the female wall, and outside the fence.

"go!"

Guan Yu turned his head, and behind the wall of the village, apart from the tall towers and archery towers, there was an area of ​​buildings on the water, which were probably the barracks of the Jiangdong Army. The internal structure was complicated, and street fighting began on both sides.

Under his leadership, hundreds of personal guards rushed in, hacking and killing everywhere along the way, on the wooden boards in the yard of the barracks, around the outer railings, under the stairs, and on the roof.

Every barracks was built with wooden boards and railings were repaired.Guan Yu led his soldiers to break through two barracks in a row, and killed them all the way to the middle of the southern camp.

At this time, there were more than 1000 Jiangdong troops relying on the terrain to stand firm. When Guan Yu rushed in, the two sides were fighting on the central wooden platform, and there was a dock further south, and the dock was at the top. , shooting arrows towards the square.

Because the Jiangdong army had a favorable location, the Jingzhou army did not rush over several times. It happened that Guan Yu came over. After looking around, he pointed to the east and said, "Zhou Cang, you lead people to attack from the front. Come and come around with me." Go back!"

"Yes."

Zhou Cang responded and led hundreds of people into the battle.

Although Guan Yu's body is old, the Azure Dragon Saber in his hand was stained with the blood of no less than ten people at this time, but the terrain in front of the building is relatively narrow, making it inconvenient to fight with a big sword, so he gave the sword to a personal guard and asked him to stay here , I pulled out a ring-sword from my waist and walked around from the side.

On the side is a village bridge located on the outer wooden platform, on which lay the corpses of more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers. From the distant Wubao, the view is too wide, and it is still very difficult to forcefully rush over.

But Guan Yu held a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right, and led eight guards to push forward along the Zhaiqiao. In an instant, a rain of arrows came over, crackling and shooting towards this side.

The guards on the left and right quickly made up their positions, and helped Guan Yu block the crossbow on the left wing with their shields, while Guan Yu continued to charge forward despite the rain of arrows.

The section of the Walled Bridge, which was only 30 meters long, was quickly rushed over by him, and then he began to climb the stairs.

The stairs were not wooden ladders that went straight up and down, but inclined ladders that had been built, so there was no need to climb with both hands. Guan Yu kept holding the shield and rushed upstairs.

At this moment, the Jiangdong army behind the female wall on the left and right rushed up, one on the right swung a knife and slashed at him, and the other stabbed him with a spear.There were also three people on the left side, one swept his feet with a halberd, and the other two flanked him from the left to make a frontal assault.

Guan Yu shrunk his whole body, crouched on the ground, then flicked his legs, and rushed forward, dodging the direct attacks from the left and right sides, and then used his shield to block the ring-shoulders of one of the people on the left. Stab to the other side.

He didn't even look at the sound of "噗嗤" coming into the flesh. He pushed forward with his left hand, knocking down the man who came with the machete, then turned around and chopped down the Jiangdong soldier with the machete who was about to attack him on the right. kill.

As for the enemy with the spear, he had already been dealt with by the swarming guards, leaving only two people on the left.

This moment happened between lightning and flint, one on the left was holding a long halberd, the other was holding a ring-sword, and the Jiangdong soldier holding a ring-sword was pushed staggered by Guan Yu, the one with the halberd had already reacted, and immediately went to Guan Yu The legs of the lower body were chopped off.

The reason for chopping the feet is because there is a crescent spear on the halberd, which can be used for chopping.The second is that Guan Yu holds a shield in his left hand, and cutting or stabbing at his upper body will be blocked by the shield, so chopping off his feet is the best way.

But Guan Yu took two steps back to avoid the sweep, and then quickly stepped on the face of the halberd with his foot. The soldier couldn't pull it out with such great force that he was hacked to death by Guan Yu's personal guards.

After finishing the five enemies, Guan Yu led the soldiers to charge again with shields.

The front row is full of Jiangdong soldiers who are shooting arrows. If all these people are dealt with, then the main force of the Jingzhou army will be able to rush across the platform and attack their southern and rear camps.

The generals of the Jiangdong Army naturally knew this, so Pan Zhang and He Qi defended here. Behind the mile-long second-floor female wall of Wubao, hundreds of archers blocked the Jingzhou Army from below and rushed upward. The Jingzhou Army's offensive was stopped.

However, Pan Zhang soon realized that something was wrong. The female wall to the west was in chaos. He looked anxiously and saw that more than ten Jingzhou troops had already come up from the Zhaiqiao on the flank. wrestle with them.

"Ten people, come with me!"

Without hesitation, Pan Zhang waved his hand to call for Yishi's soldiers, and rushed towards that side in a hurry.

The distance between the two sides is not too far, about a hundred meters, and they will meet soon.

Guan Yu still maintains a crouching posture holding a shield. Although he is over sixty years old and his physical strength and agility have declined to varying degrees, his terrifying strength and rich combat experience make him like a fish in water in a chaotic battle.

He couldn't hold his sword. Even if he didn't have Qinglong Dao in his hand, the ordinary Huan Shou Dao was still a deadly weapon, and no one was his opponent.

Pan Zhang saw from a distance that the veteran leader was quite fierce, he hesitated for a moment, saw the building next to him, rolled his eyes, and with a whistling sound, he got in through the window next to him.

He quickly walked around to Guan Yu's side, and while Guan Yu was still fighting with Jiangdong's soldiers, he suddenly broke through the window on the right and slashed at Guan Yu head-on.

Guan Yu was caught off guard, but he was not too old to react and dodge. In fact, he heard the movement the first time, turned around and saw the broken window, and raised the shield in his left hand.

"boom!"

The knife struck the shield, making a loud noise.

"drink!"

Pan Zhang roared wantonly, wanting to press down the knife and push Guan Yu to the ground.

But even though the old general was over sixty years old, he still had great strength, and even faced the difficulties, he gritted his teeth and pushed back violently, forcefully pushing Pan Zhang back a few steps.

"General!"

Zhou Cang, who is leading the troops below, is attacking upwards, and he has been paying attention to Guan Yu's situation.

Seeing Guan Yu being attacked, he didn't know what the situation was like, so he became very anxious. He raised his head and looked around, and suddenly noticed a fighting figure in the crowd, and quickly shouted: "Young general!"

"Who called me?"

Guan Ping took time out of his busy schedule to glance back, saw Zhou Cang, and shouted, "What's the matter?"

"The general outflanked and was attacked by the opposite side."

Zhou Cang shouted.

In Guan Ping's hand, he blocked and swung the big knife forward, and at the same time swung away the enemy's attack, and then cut the enemy horizontally to kill the enemy, and then looked up.

I saw chaos behind the female wall on the second floor above, more than a dozen Jingzhou troops and dozens of Jiangdong troops were fighting together, and occasionally a figure in a green brocade robe could be seen.

Guan Yu likes to wear a green robe the most, and there is only a small piece of armor that only protects his chest. He doesn't even have gauntlets, greaves, helmets, and collars. This is why his arm was shot by an arrow in history.

Seeing his father being attacked, Guan Ping hastily abandoned the enemy, shouted and stormed the second floor from the front, followed the stairs and rushed towards Guan Yu.

At this time, Guan Yu did not expect the enemy to come out of the side window. When Guan Yu pushed Pan Zhang away and got up to fight back, the right window broke open one after another, and more than a dozen Jiangdong soldiers waved their weapons outside the window. .

Guan Yu's personal guards immediately fought with them, and the two sides fought desperately in the corridor.

But Pan Zhang retreated a few times in a row, knowing that he had encountered a difficult situation. Seeing that the enemy was a veteran, he suspected that it was Huang Zhong. He had never fought Huang Zhong, let alone Guan Yu. He had only fought Zhao Yun, so he shouted: "You Is it Huang Zhong?"

It would be fine if he didn't ask, but Guan Yu would be blown away if he asked.

You must know that Liu Bei moved Huang Zhong to be the rear general, and he jumped from a second-line general to be on par with him, which made Guan Yu very upset.

So although he didn't dislike Huang Zhong, he never thought that Huang Zhong could be equal to him.

Now Pan Zhang mistook him for Huang Zhong, and immediately said angrily: "You are a gutless rat who knows how to sneak attack, you don't even know me, Guan, I will kill you!"

After saying that, he jumped up and rushed towards Pan Zhang like a cannonball. The knife in his hand drew a gorgeous arc in midair like a green dragon knife, and slashed towards Pan Zhang at a lightning speed.

Pan Zhang was taken aback, never expecting the opponent's speed to be so fast, it was too late to hide, so he hurriedly raised his knife to block.

"boom!"

There was a crisp sound of weapons intersecting, and Guan Yu's thick-backed ring head knife actually chopped off Pan Zhang's knife.

And Pan Zhang was sent flying by this terrifying force.

Although he just avoided the fatal blow, he rolled for several meters, and his tiger's mouth was sore.

When he got up from the ground in a daze, he saw that the enemy had followed him like a shadow, and the big knife came down on his head.

"General be careful!"

Sima Mazhong at the side immediately pushed away the enemy and rushed over.

The terrain of this corridor is narrow, and Guan Yu also brought personal guards, but due to the small space, the two sides got into entanglement and scuffle, and it was difficult to come here.

It happened that Pan Zhang fell near Ma Zhong, so he was rescued in time, and directly chopped at Guan Yu.

If Guan Yu cut it down at this time, he would definitely die too.

Therefore, in times of crisis, if he secretly cursed at Jiangdong Xiaoer, he would sneak attack, and then raised his shield to block.

But at this moment, someone shouted angrily: "Don't hurt my father!"

One of the people in the crowd cut a bloody path, and slashed at Ma Zhong's head with a sharp knife.

Ma Zhong was caught off guard, the head flew three feet high, blood splashed like a fountain.

Guan Yu took advantage of this opportunity and spun the ring knife in his hand. Originally, he was in a defensive and blocking posture, so he immediately pointed the tip of the knife down, and then stabbed hard.

"Pfft!"

Pan Zhang was stabbed to death, his eyes widened, and blood spattered from his mouth.

"Father, how is it?"

Guan Ping had already led the soldiers below to the second floor. When he saw Guan Yu, he hurried up to inquire.

"Humph."

Guan Yu waved his hand, kicked Pan Zhang's body away and said, "It's okay, the Jiangdong rats can only attack sneakily."

At this time, Guan Yu outflanked and killed many of the enemy's archers on the second floor, causing the frontal pressure to drop sharply. A large number of Jingzhou troops broke through the blockade and killed them.

When the Jiangdong army upstairs saw that Pan Zhang was dead, they were shocked. While shouting "the general is dead", "our army is defeated", and "run away", they threw away their helmets and armor and headed towards the rear of the southern camp. run away.

Guan Yu said coldly: "Chasing, today I have breached Ruxukou and surrounded Zheqi City. I want to capture Sun Quan alive!"
