Chapter 113 Jiangling Iron Wall
Cao Ren can really hold on now.

After Wu Jun landed, he had already formed a posture of overwhelming Mount Tai, and Cao Ren was once frightened to confess his funeral.

But at this critical moment, there was a serious conflict between the two commanders of Wu Jun.

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu are the left and right governors, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

Although Zhou Yu admired Cheng Pu and was willing to cooperate with Cheng Pu on many minor issues, he knew that breaking Jiangling was of great significance. Whoever takes the lead has a bearing on the status of history and the distribution of interests among his subordinates. Leave it to Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu also admired Zhou Yu's magnanimity, but even at his age, he couldn't refuse the opportunity to make such a great achievement.

The two exchanged amicably first, and decided that Zhou Yu would attack the city from the west, and Cheng Pu would attack the city from the south.

The main force of the Wu army was divided into two groups, and under the command of the two, they fought hard to attack the city. At one time, Jiangling was on the verge of collapse, but from the morning to the afternoon, the morale of the army was not high. Withdrew to eat some food first, and prepare to fight again tomorrow.

This is also in line with the art of war, and he also sent someone to pass on Zhou Yu.

But Zhou Yu's soldiers were stronger, they had climbed the city wall during the daytime battle, and were fighting Cao Ren's defenders to the death. He was unwilling to give up such an opportunity, and sent someone to ask Cheng Pu not to withdraw his troops.But these days, the communication was carried by horses. When the horses rushed back to Cheng Pu's camp, Cheng Pu's soldiers and horses received the order to withdraw their troops and began to retreat slowly.

Although Cao Ren was a mess in water warfare, he immediately seized this rare opportunity after fighting for many years.

He left Niu Jin to guard the city, and he himself led Chang Diao to reinforce the west of the city. Cao Jun in the west of the city saw Cao Ren coming in person, and his morale was immediately boosted, and he even opened the door and went out of the city to fight Zhou Yu.Zhou Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and the soldiers who had already climbed to the top of the city were thrown down one by one. The screams broke the morale of the whole army, and he had no choice but to retreat.

At this time, Cheng Pu received Zhou Yu's request not to withdraw his troops for the time being, and after thinking for a while, he changed the order, changing the rear team to the front team and continuing to attack the city.

When Wu Jun received the order to retreat, he was already discouraged. This time he turned around and went back to attack the city, naturally he was reluctant.

Niu Jin, the fierce general guarding the south of the city, seized the opportunity and immediately led his army to attack. The two armies collided head-on, and the Wu army was instantly dispersed, causing heavy losses for the entire army.

After repelling Zhou Yu, Cao Ren returned to the south of the city. Seeing that Niu Jin was so brave, he simply put on his armor and went out of the city again.

The Wu army suffered heavy losses in this battle. Zhou Yu's most brave Xiandeng Ruishi was abandoned at the head of the city, and was slaughtered like a duck by a scribe led by Chen Jiao.

The elite soldiers behind Cheng Pu's palace were scattered by Niu Jin in one fell swoop. Cao Jun calmly killed all the Wu army's rear troops, and even cleaned the battlefield carefully. Thunder.

The siege of the city was actually pushed back to the door of the house.

This command and dispatch is almost at the same level as Cao Ren's command of water warfare.

Zhou Yu was so angry that his teeth were itchy, and he immediately came to Cheng Pu to settle the score. Cheng Pu was also very aggrieved and scolded Zhou Yu for being greedy for merit. If Zhou Yu hadn't sent someone to let Cheng Pu stay, Cheng Pu would have done it long ago and then retreated. Beat it like this.

The two argued for a few days, and finally reached a temporary understanding, thinking that the lineup is fine, and they will come back next time.

The two put aside their previous feuds and unified command this time, saying that Cao Ren should not be allowed to continue to be rampant.

Three days later, the Wu army launched another attack from the south and west.

The morale of Cao's army was high in this attack, and the resistance far exceeded every time before. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Jun began to retreat early.

Cao Ren followed suit and ordered his general Niu Jin to lead 300 people out of the city in pursuit, trying to hold back the enemy's rear and cause some damage to the Wu army.

Niu Jin showed his skills in the last battle, and the morale of his cavalry was also high, which was completely worthy of those ponies in Jiangdong and the soldiers who had not received any regular cavalry confrontation.

He went out of the city to pursue without hesitation, biting Wu Jun's rear team tightly, Wu Jun shouted and cursed desperately, but Niu Jin didn't pay attention at all, and even thought of going directly to Wu Jun's camp to show off his might.

But he really underestimated Wu Jun's background.

Wu Jun, who has fought to pacify Jiangdong for many years, is now at its peak. Niu Jin's 300 men rushed too far. Zhou Yu made a decisive decision. Wu Jun, who had already shown his defeat, immediately opened his big net. Waving their weapons, like three ink dragons coming out of the abyss, Huang Gai and Han Dang also waved their swords and led the infantry to surround them from outside. They surrounded Niu Jin and other 300 people in one fell swoop, and they were about to annihilate them one by one!

Although 300 people were not many, it was undoubtedly an inspiring and major victory for Wu Jun who had just suffered a defeat.

As long as Niu Jin is wiped out and his head is hung up for public display, the morale of Cao's army in the city will definitely be greatly damaged, and there may be a three-month chance to break through.

Victory or defeat depends on one action, Wu Jun is really the life of the three armies, fierce generals, sharp men, and commanders, Wu Jun has put out everything he can, this overwhelming power of Mount Tai is definitely not something that Niu Jin can resist.

When Niu Jin saw so many people roaring and killing him, his face turned pale. He forced his composure and ordered his soldiers to break out of the encirclement. While fighting, he looked at Cao Ren on the tower for help.

General, help!

Cao Ren had already put on his armor when he saw Wu Jun approaching from all directions from the top of the city wall. Changshi Chen Jiao quickly grabbed Cao Ren and said in horror:
"The general is the commander in chief, how can he put himself in danger? Although it is very painful to abandon the friendly army, but... there is nothing to do about it."

Cao Ren glared at him, ordered Chang Diao to guard the city, and led the guards around him out of the city himself.Seeing that Cao Ren only led more than 100 people out of the city, the soldiers of the Wu army thought that Cao Ren was just bluffing to scare them. They never thought that Cao Ren would shout, wave his iron halberd, and lead his guards into the Wu army's encirclement.

Seeing that Cao Ren dared to come to die, Zhou Yucheng Pu was overjoyed.

The two put on their horses in person, mobilized all available soldiers to surround Cao Ren, and prepared to complete their meritorious service in one battle, beheading the pillar of Cao Wei under the horse.

But soon they discovered that Cao Ren won Cao Cao's trust not just because his surname was Cao.

Facing the swarming Jiangdong cavalry, Cao Ren was not afraid.

As soon as he picked up the iron halberd in his hand, the sharp hook immediately brought up a spray of blood. Immediately afterwards, the iron halberd flew like lightning in his rough palm, either light, heavy, fast, or slow. An ordinary iron halberd shone brightly under Cao Ren's swing. Xu Sheng and Song Qian felt breathless at the same time, and the surging attack just now slowed down!
when!
Amidst the muffled sound of weapons clashing, Cao Ren walked through the formation of the Wu army. The Wu army's weapons could hardly penetrate the thick iron armor on his body. However, Cao Ren snatched a few weapons in great pain, and swung the swords to kill him. A gap was torn in the encirclement of many famous generals of the Wu army, and all the generals of the Wu army did not dare to approach.

Seeing Cao Ren's bravery, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu showed a hint of shock on their faces.

What a powerful martial art, except for Gan Ning, I am afraid that no one in the Wu army can stop such a titan.

It would be great if Bofu and Ziyi were still alive.

Seeing that none of the generals of the Wu army were his opponents, Cao Ren immediately became more confident. He displayed all his martial arts skills and rushed from left to right in the crowd's encirclement. Han Dang stepped forward to challenge several times, but was easily repelled by Cao Ren, and they could only watch helplessly as Niu Jin broke through the encirclement.

Cao Ren, dripping blood all over his body, was bathed in the dazzling sunlight at noon in spring, like an ancient ferocious beast out of its cage.

He didn't even retreat in a hurry, but looked at the generals of the Wu army with disdainful and even pitiful eyes, and snorted coldly.

"But so."

Everyone in Wu Jun was silent.

Cao Jun had already retreated, but none of them dared to challenge them any more. Cao Ren easily turned his horse around, and Shi Shiran returned to the city.

Chen Jiao, who was standing at the top of the wall, jumped up and down excitedly, patted the arrow stacks on the top of the wall, and shouted loudly:
"Is the general a man from heaven? Is the general a man from heaven?"

The soldiers of Cao Jun also cheered together, and the thunderous voice hit the hearts of all the generals of Wu Jun, and none of them wanted to speak out for a while.

In the previous defeat, it could also be said that it was due to improper scheduling and poor cooperation.

But this head-to-head confrontation, they were desperately attacked by Cao Ren. Cao Ren, who had performed poorly in the water battle before, played a heroic achievement like a god, which will definitely become a great shame for Zhou Yu that cannot be erased.

Looking at the Cao Jun people showing off their might, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu both had the same idea.

It's over, the city will never be taken down in three months!
How to do……

If you can't fight, you either run away or call someone.

Sun Quan has now begun to attack Hefei, and it is impossible for Wu Jun to have any backup in the rear.

After Zhou Yu thought over and over again, he could only make a very helpless choice——

"Zijing, please send troops to Liu Shijun and borrow Zhang Yide, which is enough to fight against Cao Ren!"

Lu Su nodded lightly, but the sadness on his face remained undiminished.

"What about the north?"

A Cao Ren is so powerful, if the north is opened up, Le Jin and Xu Huang will kill together, Wu Jun's plan to attack Jiangling will be completely defeated.

"Now... we can only see how long Guan Yu and his son can last."

Zhou Yu thought that it would be easy to conquer Jiangling within three months, so he only gave Guan Yu three months of food and grass. Unexpectedly, Cao Ren, a defeated general, would be so powerful. To withstand operations without rear, support or even supplies.

One or two months is okay, and three months can barely last.

No matter how long it took, Zhou Yu was too embarrassed to let Guan Yu face so many Cao troops by himself.

"Supreme should have taken Hefei, I hope... I hope Guan Yu can persist."

·
In Jiangling City, Cao Jun was jubilant.

They can still last for a long time with food and grass. It seems that the Wu army will not be able to break through the city in two or three months. Cao Ren hastened to plan the follow-up battle plan.

Cao Cao's original plan was to let Cao Ren rest for a while to buy time for the main force to rest, and then Cao Cao sent someone to rescue Cao Ren, so that Sun Liu could not easily get Jiangling and then quickly go north.

But now that Cao Ren has won many battles, he has begun to swell a bit.

He was going to drive Wu Jun away, completely beat them away, so that they would never dare to stand in front of him again.

"I want to know the specific arrangement of Sun Liu now." He patted Chang Diao on the shoulder, "Juying, you are in command of the school, you have to be careful about this matter."
