Chapter 158 Sun Ce and Zhou Yu attack Xiangyang
As the summer grain harvest was approaching, Chen Xi sent Jian Yong and Liu Yan to visit Jingzhou in the name of Liu Bei's Han clan clan.
Then Jingzhou Liu Biao and other high-level officials got drunk like this and were unable to handle government affairs for at least five days.
Naturally, Cao Cao's idea of sending Mao Jie to join forces with Liu Biao of Jingzhou to attack Yuan Shu of Yuzhou was shattered.
I don’t know what Yuan Shu was thinking. After receiving the news that Jingzhou’s senior officials were drunk, he directly sent Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to lead 30,000 people to attack Xiangyang.
"Gong Jin, why don't we recognize this foster father?" Sun Ce looked at the 30,000 soldiers and horses in front of him, swallowed, turned to Zhou Yu and said.
Although most of the 30,000 soldiers and horses are new recruits, those who serve as grassroots generals are all veterans of Yuzhou, veterans who fought in the war against Dong.
Coupled with the five thousand soldiers of the headquarters left by Sun Jian, Sun Ce now has 35,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.
You must know that this number of soldiers and horses can be regarded as a big prince in the battle against Dong, and can have a seat in the main tent.
As a result, Yuan Shu handed over these soldiers and horses to Sun Ce, and no one restrained them. The only generals who sent troops to Jingzhou were Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
Did Yuan Shu let Sun Ce and Zhou Yu attack Jingzhou for his own benefit, or did Yuan Shu let Sun Ce avenge Sun Jian.
Maybe only Yuan Shu himself knows, after all, Yuan Shu's character... So let's think that Yuan Shu wants to conquer Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu pursed his lips and looked at the 30,000 soldiers and horses in front of him. His clenched fists relaxed and then clenched, and then relaxed again.
Zhou Yu sighed, turned to Sun Ce and said to Sun Ce, "Bo Fu, since Mr. Yuan appreciates us so much, if we refuse again, we will be a little ignorant."
Words Even so, even if the two of them really recognized Yuan Shu as their adoptive father, Zhou Yu would not be so willing to stay under Yuan Shu's command.
After all, they are all a family, so Yuan Shu will no longer confine the two of them to stay in Yuzhou. He must support them to start their own business.
[In this case, Yuzhou and Jingzhou would be embarrassed to take action, but Yangzhou seems to be a good place. 】
Looking at Sun Ce with a happy face, Zhou Yu was thinking about how to persuade Yuan Shu to release them and support them in attacking Yangzhou.
After all, without the support of Yuzhou, it would be too difficult to capture Yangzhou with the five thousand soldiers and horses in their hands.
[Since they are all adoptive fathers, then these 30,000 soldiers and horses...] Zhou Yu looked at the 30,000 soldiers and horses in front of him again, thinking in his heart how to get them from Yuan Shu's hands.
——
Thirty miles outside Xiangyang City, veteran general Wang Wei led the Xiangyang defenders to block Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's attack.
"Kill!" Sun Ce, with red eyes, led the 5,000-strong headquarters reorganized from the remnants of his father's headquarters and charged into Wang Wei's army.
Because Lu Bu is not present this time, Sun Ce can only be the vanguard to penetrate the Xiangyang defenders' front.
Zhou Yu commanded the rest of the soldiers to further disintegrate the Xiangyang defenders' battle line, hold back the main force of the Xiangyang defenders, and create an opportunity for Sun Ce to penetrate directly into the central army and knock out the command center.
Sun Ce slashed at the enemy soldier blocking the front, then passed over the fallen soldier stained red with blood, and continued to squeeze his own strength to slash at another soldier.
At this time, Sun Ce's eyes were red, and his whole body was filled with golden mist. His destructive aura continuously impacted the soldiers who dared to oppose him. Sun Ce, who had penetrated the front line, had now entered the Chinese line. Sun Ce, who had entered the Chinese line, had already seen Wang Wei, who was commanding the battle under the banner.
Wang Wei is a veteran after all. He has long discovered the overwhelming power of Sun Ce and his party. He understands that if he continues to let Sun Ce charge, he may not be able to end safely.
Unfortunately, he could not mobilize troops from other fronts to surround Sun Ce, because Zhou Yu in front firmly held every front of Wang Wei.
Even though this is the first time Zhou Yu has commanded a battle, Zhou Yu is Zhou Yu after all. How could he not understand the changes in the battle situation at this time?
Now the only ones Wang Weineng dispatched to besiege Sun Ce were his personal guards and rear troops.
Unfortunately, before Wang Wei's rear army moved, Zhou Yu on the other side had already discovered what Wang Wei wanted to do.
Zhou Yu waved the command flag, and immediately, a 3,000-man legion was pulled out from the right wing, bypassing the front line, and diagonally inserted into the rear army that was just about to enter the Chinese front line.
Although Wang Wei relied on his distance advantage to command the rear army, he barely blocked the attack of the legion that entered diagonally.
However, Sun Ce had already advanced to less than a hundred steps away from him. As long as Sun Ce penetrated the battle line in front of him, he would be able to kill Wang Wei under the banner.
Seeing Sun Ce getting closer and closer, Wang Wei no longer cared about commanding the army to block Zhou Yu's attack, and quickly ordered his guards to step forward to block Sun Ce's sudden advance.
However, it was useless to block Sun Ce at this time. At this time, Zhou Yu had already commanded the troops to divide the battle line and cut Wang Wei's troops into pieces.
As for Sun Ce, with the assistance of his personal guards, he jumped under the banner, and then cut off the banner with a knife, and at the same time killed Wang Wei.
"The enemy general is dead and he still won't surrender!" Sun Ce shouted loudly, focusing the attention of the whole audience on him.
After disintegrating the fighting will of the soldiers who were still resisting, Sun Ce did not stop here, but rushed towards Xiangyang City.
Sun Ce had only one will at this time, which was to attack Xiangyang City and use the ancient ingot knife left by Sun Jian to chop off Liu Biao's head.
Zhou Yu watched Sun Ce dashing away. He had no choice but to give instructions to his lieutenants, and then followed Sun Ce with some of the troops still on the command line.
Under the influence of Sun Ce's will, the external essence of heaven and earth gradually began to blend with the internal energy in Sun Ce's body.
As he got closer and closer to Xiangyang City, more and more golden radiance appeared on Sun Ce's body. At the same time, the golden mist diffused by these golden radiances also gradually enveloped the soldiers following him.
The golden light continuously refines the essence of heaven and earth, transforming it into Sun Ce's own inner energy.
At the same time, these inner Qi are also constantly refining Sun Ce's body, opening up the barrier between Sun Ce's body and the essence of heaven and earth bit by bit, which is the bridge between heaven and man.
When he saw the gate of Xiangyang City, it was also the time when the golden radiance on Sun Ce's body reached its peak. It was also the time when Sun Ce's inner energy left his body.
The golden glow on Sun Ce's body was suddenly pushed away, and the surging momentum spread around, especially the Xiangyang City not far ahead.
The golden mist that was originally scattered around the soldiers turned into golden light, and suddenly poured into the soldiers' bodies, twisting the soldiers' will into a rope, and bursting out with an even more powerful momentum.
