Dream of the Red Chamber: Start by gaining Zhao Yun's martial prowess, and be ennobled in a sin
Chapter 42 Deploying a Strategy to Break Through the City
The number one warrior of the Three Kingdoms was a fierce general even more valiant than Zhao Yun.
The halberd, the Red Hare, shooting the halberd at the gate, and the three heroes fighting Lü Bu are all well-known stories.
He possessed extraordinary physical strength, and was top-notch in horsemanship, archery, and halberd fighting.
Lü Bu led his troops into battle on numerous occasions, achieving remarkable victories.
For example, in the battle against Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, he led several dozen cavalrymen in repeated attacks on Zhang Yan's elite force of over ten thousand, achieving victories and retreating each day for more than ten days, ultimately defeating the enemy.
During the Battle of Yanzhou, he led his cavalry in a frontal assault on Cao Cao's Qingzhou troops, forcing Cao Cao to flee on horseback at one point, demonstrating his powerful battlefield impact.
His martial arts skills are even superior to Zhao Yun's.
As for the inheritance of Xiang Yu's martial prowess, needless to say!
No king surpasses Ba, no general surpasses Li; this is the pinnacle of military power in the entire Chinese civilization.
Xiang Yu is universally recognized as a top-tier warrior. His combat prowess was unparalleled in the era of cold weapons, and he was hailed by later generations as the "King of One-on-One Duels" who was "unmatched throughout the ages."
Even in his youth, he possessed superhuman strength, capable of lifting a tripod!
He is the only military general recorded in official history to have single-handedly killed hundreds of people, and that was while he was seriously injured.
In the Battle of Julu, Chu troops with 50,000 men defeated Qin troops with 400,000 men, winning nine battles in a row and shaking the world with their might.
In the Battle of Pengcheng, 30,000 elite troops defeated Liu Bang's 560,000-strong allied army, killing hundreds of thousands, and the Sui River stopped flowing because of the defeat.
He fought more than 70 battles in eight years and was known as the "Overlord of Western Chu"!
It can be said that Xiang Yu's martial prowess had reached an inhuman level.
Having inherited the martial prowess of Zhao Yun, Lü Bu, and Xiang Yu, to what extent has Jia Jing's martial skill reached?
To be honest, even he himself didn't know.
All I can say is, I hate that the sky has no handle and the earth has no ring.
When Li Yuanba arrived, Jia Jing dared to give him a handicap.
Taking the enemy's head from among ten thousand troops is as easy as taking something out of a bag.
The martial arts skills inherited from these three people are combined into Jia Jing's body, which is by no means a simple addition.
At this moment, Jia Jing could feel that his physique had undergone a wonderful change, but he had not yet figured out what the change was.
But he knew,
At the very least, it would not be difficult for him to breach the city gates of Jizhou at this time.
Right now, I can take advantage of the high walls and thick gates of Jizhou City to test the limits of my strength.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Jia Jing dismounted and raised the nearly seven-foot-long giant hammer with one hand.
This hammer was commissioned by him to be forged by craftsmen from fine iron by Zhuque. The entire hammer weighs over 600 jin (approximately 300 kg), is perfectly formed, and is extremely sturdy.
"Good heavens! Is Lord Bo even human?"
"That's outrageous! It's truly terrifying!"
"Such a heavy hammer, yet the Earl lifted it with just one hand!"
As Feng Ziying and the others watched Jia Jing effortlessly wield the giant hammer, they all swallowed hard, their hearts pounding.
The Han soldiers looked at Jia Jing with fervent worship, as if they were devout believers looking at their god.
With such a brave and valiant commander, it would be difficult for them to lose a battle!
"All generals, listen to my command!" Jia Jing shouted in a deep voice.
"Please give the order, General!"
The generals all responded with a shout!
Everyone's eyes shone with a fiery light; was there even a need to fight this battle?
They're going to win!
This incredible military achievement is within my grasp!
"Feng Ziying and Liu Fang, you two will lead 8,000 cavalry and infantry to set up ambushes in three lines at the east gate of Jizhou, with deep trenches and high walls, and plenty of arrows and crossbows. When the Qing army collapses and flees from the east gate, you will all rush out and not let a single one escape!"
"Han Qi and Hou Xiaokang, you two will lead 8,000 cavalry and infantry to set up an ambush outside the south gate of Jizhou, with deep trenches and high walls, ensuring that not a single person escapes!"
"Qin Qiong, you lead eight thousand cavalry and infantry to ambush at the west gate. The same mission applies: ensure not a single Qing soldier escapes!"
"Zhuque, you lead the remaining 16,000 cavalry and infantry to storm the city after I breach the city gates."
Jia Jing issued one order after another.
Meanwhile, the generals couldn't help but smile, while secretly praying that the Qing army would escape from the city gates they were defending.
Each of the generals bowed deeply to Jia Jing, then, filled with anticipation, departed to receive their orders.
Jia Jing and Zhu Que waited in front of the battle line for two hours until the other armies reported that they were ready to ambush. Only then did Jia Jing walk alone to the city of Jizhou with a giant hammer to challenge them.
Following them were more than 10,000 cavalry and infantry, who were ready to take action at any time.
When Jia Jing was about a hundred paces away from the city gate, a hail of arrows rained down from the city wall.
Given Jia Jing's martial prowess at this point, these arrows couldn't harm him at all.
Firstly, in his eyes, these arrows were very slow, and he could easily dodge them.
Secondly, he was wearing several layers of thick armor and a helmet, so these arrows could not penetrate his defenses.
Jia Jing ignored the arrows, dragged his sledgehammer, and ran quickly, rushing straight towards the city gate like an arrow released from a bow.
The Qing army commander guarding the city gate, unable to immediately discern Jia Jing's intentions, asked his soldiers in bewilderment:
"This Han general must be Jia Jing! Has he gone mad? Is he planning to break through our city gates all by himself?"
The Qing army commander could hardly believe that Jia Jing could break through the gates of Jizhou City by himself, even though Jia Jing was dragging a heavy-looking iron hammer.
But who knows what it's made of? Maybe it's iron-clad wood, just trying to scare us!
"They're probably just trying to scare us! They can't be thinking of killing themselves at the city gate!" a soldier nearby joked.
"Never mind him! This Jia Jing is young and arrogant, he doesn't know his own limitations! We just need to hold the city walls! The First Prince has already requested reinforcements from Shengjing, and they will arrive soon. We'll settle accounts with the Han army then!"
The soldiers defending the city reassured the soldiers in the surrounding area.
Jia Jing didn't care what the Qing army thought; he just kept rushing towards the city gate.
One hundred steps... fifty steps...
Getting closer and closer,
Jia Jing could already clearly see the city gate of Jizhou; the majestic gate, deep and imposing, lay before him like the jaws of a tiger.
The city gate was covered with rusty copper nails, and above the gate hung a plaque for Jizhou City. Although the paint had peeled off, the strokes of the brush were still faintly visible, conveying a sense of weight and solemnity.
Human strength is indeed insignificant in the face of such a massive city gate!
Of course, that applies to the average person!
When they were a few steps apart, Jia Jing had already raised the giant hammer high, held it with both hands, and used the momentum of running to leap into the air.
Suddenly, the world seemed to fall silent!
All eyes were on Jia Jing.
At this moment, the wind seemed to have stopped blowing, and the light seemed to have frozen.
Jia Jing mustered all his strength, concentrating the power of Zhao Yun, Lü Bu, and Xiang Yu into his hands.
"Ha!" Jia Jing exhaled, his hands bulging with veins and his muscles tensing.
In an instant, Jia Jing's martial arts prowess exploded.
"Thump!"
A deafening roar echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.
