" Kill him!" Huang Zhong shouted as he raised his big ringed saber and slashed down, cutting down an enemy in front of him.
At this moment, Huang Zhong's armor was stained with blood, and his entire body was filled with killing intent. He was like a god of war, facing an endless stream of Zhou soldiers.
The one leading the Zhou army was Zhou Yu's vanguard, Lu Meng.
Lu Meng was holding a steel saber and dressed like an ordinary soldier. At this moment, he had already led more than a hundred soldiers and firmly occupied a corner of Wuchang City.
Behind Lu Meng, more soldiers of the Zhou army were climbing up the ladder.
Wuchang City had reached its most dangerous moment, and the battle between the two sides had become even more tragic.
If they couldn't defeat the enemy as soon as possible, Wuchang City might fall.
Blood had already dyed the city walls red, and wounded soldiers could be seen everywhere. There were Jiangxia soldiers and Jiangdong soldiers, but no one knew if they were dead or alive.
Both Lu Meng and Huang Zhong were not famous, but as generals, they were keenly aware of each other's identities.
Shoot the horse first, capture the king first!
As long as the enemy general died, the soldiers under him would naturally be defeated.
Lu Meng saw Huang Zhong's white hair and felt that this old general was easy to deal with. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he slashed out with his saber.
Huang Zhong was a veteran who had been through hundreds of battles. He held his broadsword horizontally in front of his chest, and amidst the crisp sound of metal clashing, Lu Meng was actually forced back a few steps.
Lu Meng's eyes widened. The sharp pain from his thumb and forefinger made him suck in a breath of cold air. The steel knife in his hand almost flew out of his hand.
"This old general is so powerful!" Lu Meng could not help but reveal a surprised expression.
"Brat, watch me take your head!”
" Kill!" Huang Zhong shouted and immediately went up to fight with Lu Meng. In an instant, they had exchanged more than ten blows.
However, at this critical moment, something unexpected happened in the Zhou army camp.
Zhou Yu had been staring at the battle ahead. Seeing that Lu Meng had already gained a firm foothold on the city wall and more and more soldiers were climbing up the city wall, he knew that he had already won half of the battle.
The only thing left to do was to take down Wuchang City in one go!
"Pass down the order! All soldiers, attack Wuchang City with all your might. I want to take down this city within an hour!”Zhou Yu said coldly.
"Here!" Dong Xi and Zhu Zhi received the order and gathered their troops, preparing to participate in the siege.
However, at this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly. Amid the deafening drumbeats, there seemed to be the faint sound of hooves.
Zhou Yu had been in the military for many years and was familiar with the sound of horse hooves. It was impossible for him to have misheard.
"What's going on? Where did the hooves come from?”Zhou Yu frowned and immediately asked.
"Horse hooves?" Ling Tong was stunned for a moment before he felt the ground shaking. The shaking was getting clearer and clearer.
"Kill them!"
Just as Zhou Yu and the others were in shock, a battle cry that resounded through the sky instantly exploded in everyone's ears.
Behind the Zhou army's camp, a group of cavalry that was galloping like a tiger was sweeping over.
Seeing this scene, all the soldiers of the Zhou army were stunned. A question appeared in their minds at the same time: Why was there an army behind his own camp?
Gan Ning and his 2,500 elite cavalry charged into the camp like a knife through tofu, instantly breaking through the formation.
Before firearms were popularized, cavalry had a natural advantage over infantry.
The powerful impact of a cavalry charge was difficult to block with just human strength.
At this moment, not to mention the Zhou soldiers, even Zhou Yu himself was stunned.
However, Gan Ning didn't give the Zhou army any time to react. The two thousand elite cavalry charged into the encampment like no one was there, their hooves stomping down on the camp. Many soldiers couldn't dodge in time and were instantly killed.
The steel saber in his hand was even more merciless. As he raised his hand and slashed down, countless people were cut down to the ground.
All of this happened too suddenly, and many of the Zhou soldiers were dumbfounded. However, some of them finally reacted, and a shrill cry rang out in the Zhou army's camp.
"Enemy attack!"
Although some of them had regained their senses, the Zhou soldiers could not resist the charge of the 2,500 cavalrymen.
The soldiers of the Zhou army did not know how many people there were, but when they saw the local cavalry surging like a flood, which seemed to be more than ten thousand people, most of the soldiers of the Zhou army panicked.
A sneak attack was a double-edged sword. If one was not careful, they might fall into the other party's ambush.
However, if the sneak attack was successful, the impact on the enemy would be immeasurable.
"Dong Xi, Zhu Zhi, Ling Tong, appease the soldiers immediately and form a formation to resist the enemy!”
Zhou Yu lost his composure, which was rare. He didn't have time to think too much and roared with a changed expression.
As the Viceroy, he knew very well that if he could not stabilize the morale of the army as soon as possible, then what awaited him would be a crushing defeat.
At this moment, Zhou Yu only had one thought in his mind. Why was there such a fierce army behind him?
The scouts had clearly reported that there were no unusual movements in the troops of Xiakou or West-Hill, and no navy had passed by the river.
"When exactly?" Zhou Yu clenched his fists, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Such a large force was actually able to sneak up behind him and launch a surprise attack!
How did he do it?
At this moment, Dong Xi, Zhu Zhi, and Ling Tong received Zhou Yu's order and immediately organized their soldiers to resist the enemy.
But Gan Ning wouldn't give them that chance, and neither would Liu Jue.
As Gan Ning led his cavalry into the camp, Liu Jue followed closely behind, leading two thousand elite infantry.
Like a pack of tigers charging into a flock of sheep, they rampaged through the camp of the Zhou army. All the soldiers of the Zhou army who appeared were slashed to the ground by them.
This was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The soldiers of the Zhou army were already in a mess, and now they were completely broken down. A large number of soldiers began to flee. Even if Dong Xi and the others killed a few of them, it would not be of much use.
Seeing that the situation was good, Liu Jue immediately raised his arms and shouted,"Soldiers, defeat the Jiangdong Army in one go. If you chop off Zhou Yu's head, I will reward you handsomely!”
There must be brave men under heavy rewards!
Moreover, to these 5,000 elite soldiers, Liu Jue's orders were like imperial edicts. They would carry them out without caring about their lives.
The 5,000 elite soldiers split into small groups and charged in all directions, killing the Zhou soldiers in front of them without mercy.
The entire camp of the Zhou army was in complete chaos. All kinds of screams and wails could be heard.
