Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 400: Famous in Jiangdong, retreat from the enemy with eyes closed

Among the generals under Cao Pi who are qualified to display the banner of general, who can kill the people running towards him at this time...whose surname is Zhang?

It can't be Zhang He, the general who guards Guanzhong, right?

Then the answer is already ready to come out...

"Zhang Liao?!" Xu Sheng's heart immediately thumped and he secretly thought something was wrong.

It's not that he himself was afraid of Zhang Liao. If a man fights on the battlefield and dies, his ears will be dead. What should he be afraid of?

But it's useless if Xu Sheng is not afraid. The Wu soldiers under his command are afraid!

More than just fear, I was as afraid of Zhang Liao as a tiger... To be honest, whether Cao Pi personally conquered or not, it had basically no impact on the morale of the Wu army. On the contrary, he wished that Cao Pi would come to the front line to fight in person.

If he kills the new emperor of Wei in one fell swoop, wouldn’t that mean he reaches the sky in one step?

Military life is boring, so it's good to fantasize about it and brag with your comrades.

Zhang Liao is different. This man is almost every soldier of Wu's nightmare.

"Stop Cao Wei's reinforcements!" Xu Sheng quickly detached his boats to intercept them. He was about to completely annihilate this onslaught of Cao's troops. How could he fall short at this moment?

But what he was most worried about happened. As soon as the reinforcements sent to intercept met the enemy, they heard the shouts of the oncoming warships.

"Destroy the army at Xiaoyaojin! Eight hundred and one hundred thousand defeated!"

"The halberd sweeps Jiangdong! The horse rides on Jianye!"

The voices of many soldiers of Cao Cao's army merged into one place, and their voices echoed across the river for a while.

"Zhang Liao...it's Zhang Liao!" On the Soochow warship, the Wu soldiers immediately became nervous, exclaimed and made a lot of noise, including the soldiers and civilians who were manning the boat and rowing the oars.

Although they were not so frightened that they wet their pants and jumped into the river, the originally neat formation of the fleet immediately became chaotic.

The generals of each boat tried their best to restrain the soldiers under their command, but with little success... because their shouts and shouts lacked the usual confidence, who could be restrained?

To be able to shout in such unison, it was obvious that they had rehearsed in advance and deliberately exposed the scars in their hearts!

Simple and direct, yet effective.

Xu Sheng was angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. Courage could not be made up for by training.

No matter how well these soldiers drilled on weekdays, there were no major mistakes in the battles in the past few days.

But these soldiers, who had never experienced a war after being recruited, immediately showed their cowardice at the critical moment.

The battle in Jingzhou severely damaged the vitality, and the chain impact caused by it continues to this day and has not been eliminated.

If Pan Zhang, Lu Xun, and the tens of thousands of Jiangdong elites were here, why would this happen?

But at this moment, there is no use saying anything except fighting hard.

Zang Ba, who had already resigned himself to his fate in despair and was just waiting to be buried in the belly of a fish, now his eyes suddenly lit up!

I saw him stabbing to death a Soochow water ghost who swam over secretly and planned to climb onto the boat. He raised his gun and shouted: "Brothers! Reinforcements are coming! Wen Yuan has come to save us with reinforcements. Follow me and fight out!"

Cao Jun's generals on each ship also rekindled hope and immediately began to boost morale.

The Qingzhou soldiers and Xuzhou soldiers, who were surrounded by groups and suffered nearly 30% casualties and were on the verge of collapse, learned that Zhang Liao personally led the army to help, and they also burst out with amazing combat power!

When people face a huge crisis, they don't always show their amazing abilities. More often, what they show is an amazing urge to urinate...

Only when crisis and hope coexist, and when there is a popular leader to boost morale, will people choose to fight to the death.

For example, Han Xin's last-ditch battle and Overlord Xiang Yu's desperate battle.

Although Zang Ba is not as good as the Soldier Immortal and Overlord, he still has enough prestige in the hearts of Qingxu soldiers.

For a time, all the trapped Cao soldiers were brave and brave enough to take the lead.

Someone was hit by a sword in his arm and could not hold a weapon. Facing the Wu soldiers who came to join the gang, he actually sacrificed his life and bumped into the Wu soldiers and fell into the river together. It was touching...

Under this situation, Wu Jun's combat and cooperation became more and more sluggish. Finally, Zhang Liao's fleet successfully broke through Xu Sheng's interception, joined forces with Zang Ba, and fought hard towards the north of the Yangtze River.

This wasn't what angered Xu Sheng the most. The most hateful thing was that Zhang Liao actually sat cross-legged on the big ship in the center from beginning to end, pressing his halberd with both hands and closing his eyes to meditate!

No matter what the fighting was going on around him, or whether there were stray arrows flying around, he remained unmoved.

The more Zhang Liao acted like this, the more Wu Jun's little courage was frightened to death. No ship dared to risk his life to attack him, so he only dared to fire arrows from a distance.

Unfortunately, God was not kind to him, and the power and accuracy of the arrows also dropped a lot.

In the end, after paying a lot of casualties, Zhang Liao and the remnants of Zang Ba actually killed the Wu army blocking the way and successfully landed in Jiangbei!

There were also strong crossbows and ambushes arranged by Zhang Liao on the shore to cover their landing.

Generals Xu Sheng and He Qi were determined to continue the pursuit ashore, but they knew that with the morale of their men at this time, the enemy troops could escape in the water battle in the river. If they were to fight on foot, these cowards would not be captured. Beat the shit out?

"Don't chase the poor bandits!"

After firing at Cao Jun on the shore for a while, Wu Jun decisively withdrew his troops.

This time, Cao General Yin Lu was killed, and at least 2,000 of Zang Ba's troops were killed and jumped into the river. This was considered a retaliation for their attack on Jingkou, and the King of Wu was justified.

The Wu army stopped temporarily, but Zang Bana keenly saw the opportunity for victory.

He immediately went to find Zhang Liao who was sitting on the shore and his soldiers were feeding him water.

"Wen Yuan, this time Ba and the brothers were able to escape and ascend to heaven, all thanks to your desperate efforts to save them, hahaha! There will be a banquet someday, and I will toast you and have a drink until I get drunk!"

Zang Ba and Zhang Liao have known each other for a long time, so there was not much false politeness in their words.

Then, without waiting for Zhang Liao's response, he immediately said, "The morale of the Wu army is low at this time, and the fighting spirit has been lost. Let's take a short rest, why not fight back? If the enemy army can be defeated again, General Cao's main force may use this to make a big move." Going south, by then... Wenyuan, Wenyuan?"

Just now he saw that Zhang Liao had come ashore and was still sitting there with his eyes closed, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

You said that You and Wu Jun were just in uniform, why did they get too involved in the drama and dress up with their old colleagues?

At this moment, he discovered that things didn't seem to be the case.

Zhang Liao's face was as red as his fellow countryman Guan Yu, and he was breathing rapidly...

"Wen Yuan, are you... are you feeling ill?" Zang Ba stepped forward and shook Zhang Liao's hand, only to find that it was frighteningly hot.

At this time, Zhang Liao opened his eyes weakly and said feebly: "Xuan Gao, I...I can't hold it anymore, hurry up!"

Zang Ba was stunned on the spot for a moment.

It turns out that Zhang Liao's previous behavior was not to show off in front of the battle, but to drag his sick body onto the battlefield. The heavy armor and blade could only support the limit, and he was unable to make other moves.

He even used his sick body to the extreme... No wonder this guy dared to kill Sun Quan with eight hundred horses in the first place, he was too cruel.

There was no way, Zhang Liao was so ill that it would be an act of kindness to get him back.

Zang Ba made a prompt decision and quickly retreated after reorganizing his army to prevent Zhang Liao's condition from getting worse without treatment.

Cao Xiu's main force in the water battle could not gain any advantage, so he also retreated.

At this point, the danger of Jingkou being breached was finally resolved.

Just when both sides thought they were about to fall into a long confrontation, an urgent military message sent to Cao Pi changed the situation in Jiangdong drastically...
