Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Su Wu was in the city gate when he suddenly felt a thunderous sound. In an instant, the world was turned upside down, and everything around him was squeezing towards him!

    In the flash of lightning, there was no time to make any movement, so he had to draw out his weapon and shoot it towards the sky.  Then he saw the city wall crashing down, and in the moment between life and death, everything evolved like slow motion. Weapons, arms, and every joint of his body were broken one by one before his eyes, and then the black shadow continued to move towards him like a mountain.  The head was smashed against him. Although Su Wu tried his best to dodge backwards, it was in vain. All he could see in front of him was the black wall of the city wall filling the space, drowning everything in an instant!

    February 21, 202, Su Wu, commander of the Zhennan Army under Li Zhe!  He was ambushed at the Xiangyang City Gate, and the bombs that had been planted in advance blew up the city gate. He was buried under thousands of tons of masonry and died!

    Immediately afterwards, before Li Zhejun¡¯s people could react, the inner city gate suddenly opened, and countless figures suddenly emerged from the city wall. Thousands of arrows were fired, and Li Zhejun¡¯s forwards who were isolated in the barbican were ambushed, and they died one after another!

    When the rear army was still at a loss, in Xiangyang City, a big man appeared from the city wall, holding a long knife, "Kill me!" and led countless Xiangyang troops to rush out of the city!

    This man was none other than Guan Yu, the long-dormant brother of the fierce general. He was unparalleled in the world, with a long sword in his hand, and he was invincible. After a while, he mounted a horse, which was even more powerful, like a sharp arrow, and went straight into Li Zhe's army.  The phalanx of crossbowmen was thrown into chaos, and the Xiangyang soldiers who followed behind them were like wolves and tigers, pressing forward like a tide and quickly drowning Li Zhe's army's phalanx of crossbowmen.

    However, this was not over yet. From the distance, the earth shook, and a cavalry army rushed out. Led by a big black man holding a spear, they galloped straight into Li Zhejun's heavy equipment camp.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of Su Wuzhong's death in ambush, and the vanguard was destroyed in the ambush, to the Jingzhou Army's counterattack, and the cavalry's surprise attack on the rear line, a series of attacks, extremely fierce!  All of a sudden, Li Zhe's army was beaten to pieces and turned into a mess. Even the crossbowmen's phalanx was rushed into the formation before they had time to exert their combat effectiveness. They slaughtered wantonly and engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Li Zhe's crossbowmen were even more powerful than these Jingzhou soldiers.  The army was still weak and could not resist, and was retreating steadily.

    The general of the heavy equipment battalion in the rear formation, Shi Zhong, was a blacksmith and had a violent temper!  Don't panic when encountering sudden changes.

    Fight to the death!  Fight to the death!  After shouting twice to boost the morale of the soldiers around him, he grabbed the ballista next to him and fired it with a bang, knocking over several cavalry soldiers. Even if they were charged by the cavalry, they did not give up and led a group of small soldiers.  A group of soldiers held on to the ballista position.

    At the end, Zhang Fei saw him, and he rushed past on horseback. The spear in his hand stirred up, and immediately stirred up blood and flying wood all over the sky, and a piece of broken limbs fell to the ground!

    "Happy! Happy! Kill so fast! Today someone knows what it means to be resourceful! Haha! Hahaha! Pang Chougui! Today I, Lao Zhang, have conquered you!" A spear and a horse, standing in the formation of ten thousand soldiers.  In the middle, Zhang Fei laughed as if no one was watching!  This group of veterans already knew that Li Zhejun's defeat was certain!

    But even at this moment, Li Zhejun still did not give up resistance. The battlefield was full of small groups of soldiers fighting everywhere. Even if the soldiers of the heavy equipment battalion died, they still had to find ways to destroy their weapons.  You must not let these things fall into the hands of the enemy and be used to kill your brothers!

    On the battlefield, although Li Zhejun was completely at a disadvantage, he still fought to the death.

    Even Guan Yu was in mourning!

    Soldier Li Zhejun!  How tragic and heroic!

    Half an hour later, when Cao Ren and Cao Chun received the news and returned to the army, the 5,000 people in the Zhennan Army's Central Army and the 5,000 people in the Heavy Equipment Battalion of the Rear Army were already dead and wounded. Most of them were dead and wounded, and their organization was completely gone. They were almost gone: Command  Make Su Wu die!  Zhu Ling, Sima Zhu Ling of the Central Military Camp, died!  Sima Shizhong in the rear army camp died!  Li Zhejun suffered his first big defeat since his rise!

    Cao Ren and Cao Chun were trapped and out of horses, so they could only lead the cavalry and gathered some of the defeated troops!  Fighting and retreating, they retreated to Deng County, the army's logistics stronghold. There were still two thousand infantrymen left here to guard part of the army's baggage. They gathered troops to hold on. The Jingzhou army took advantage of the victory and pursued it. They repeatedly failed to attack, but there was nothing they could do.  The situation was stabilized for the time being.

    However, the good opportunity of the Zhennan Army to go south to Xiangyang and capture Jingzhou has been completely lost!

    ¡­¡­

    The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Xiangyang!  The blow to Li Zhejun was fatal!  It was not just as simple as the defeat of the main force of the Jingzhou Army.

    After this news spread, the myth and legend of Li Zhejun's victorious battles was immediately shattered, and countless people who were secretly dissatisfied with Li Zhejun were greatly encouraged!  Even Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, who had previously started to negotiate with Zhong Yao and wanted to surrender, immediately stopped negotiating!

    A new round of siege against Li Zhe's army began to brew. This time, even Liu Zhang from Shu, Gongsun Du from Liaodong and those far away in the grasslandThe barbarians all joined in, some contributed people, the rich contributed money, and the powerful contributed. The princes put aside their long-cherished wishes and connected all kinds of materials and manpower to fight against the central court. Li Zhe became the enemy of the world in one fell swoop.  !

    And the inside information of this battle was spread by spies. The weaknesses of Li Zhejun's formation, such as inconvenience in rotation and inability to cope with the situation, were also discovered by the princes and generals. People began to formulate new tactics based on Li Zhejun's characteristics and use them against Li Zhejun.  In the end, the culprit that caused Su Wu's death - black gunpowder, shocked the world with its stunning effects!  The princes immediately found the principles and methods through various means and learned to make and use it.  Of course, their formula and grinding technology are not up to par, and the power of the finished product is greatly reduced, but even so, it is a qualitative improvement in military technology!  The various usage methods and supporting tactics of the **pack have become the new favorites that generals are eager to learn!

    The pressure of survival has caused unprecedented drastic changes under the rule of the princes. Needless to say, militarism and exorbitant taxes, the political situation has also undergone a new wave of changes.

    Jiangdong, Sun Quan set a trap, ambushed Cheng Pu Handang, killed Huang Gai, and then launched a purge of counter-revolutionaries in the army, wiping out all the older generation of warlords!  Then he reconciled with the major Jiangdong wealthy families, shared economic interests, completely solved the political and internal troubles in the territory, and carried out economic and military reforms imitating Li Zhejun's rule, starting a new round of changes in the situation in Jiangdong.

    Within the borders of various princes, various military-related technologies are progressing at an extremely rapid rate!  Stirrups, horseshoes, high-bridge saddles, black powder, trebuchets, and crossbows were successively learned by Yuan Shao, Sun Quan, and others; even in the more remote princes and even on the grasslands, technology diffusion was proceeding slowly, and information from all parties gathered  In the past, Li Zhe couldn't help but be amazed by the wisdom of the ancients in adapting to drastic social changes in this short-term social upheaval!

    And during this period of time, what really shined in the prelude to this round of war was the espionage forces of various princes!  Across China and at the borders of the Central Plains, Li Zhejun's spy intelligence agency, headed by Guo Jia, Xu Shu and Liu Ye, and the spy intelligence agencies of the princes secretly launched a brutal life-and-death fight.

    ¡­¡­

    "How's it going? Kong Ming! Haha! You see, didn't I expose the myth that Li Zhejun was invincible in the world? He defeated the main force of his Zhennan Army in one battle and killed his general! You should help me imitate the black gunpowder.  What about? Haha, it is indeed extremely sharp. Now I have ordered the craftsmen to learn how to do it, and they will imitate it on a large scale after arriving in Jiangnan.

    This battle!  Heavy damage to the Zhennan Army!  At least in a short period of time, Li Zhe's army is no longer able to use troops against me in Jingzhou. Now, the Yangtze River defense line plan that you and I planned in advance can be calmly launched. From now on, it is not impossible to unite the princes and form a confrontation with Li Zhe's army.  !  "Pang Tongyi defeated most of the Zhennan Army in the first battle. It was the time when the spring breeze was triumphant, and his face was filled with the energetic spirit of young people.

    On the opposite side, Xu Du Nei's heroic and energetic Wolong Zhuge Liang looked haggard, as if he had been sleeping for a long time and had not yet woken up. After hearing Pang Tongzhi's proud question, his face showed no joy and helplessness.  He shook his head and replied:

    "Hey! Shiyuan! You and I have been discussing it for many days, but in the end you still don't understand! What is the gap between us and Li Zhe? The defeat of the Zhennan Army was just because you used Li Zhe's army to move south too hastily.  The opportunity just caught him off guard. It will be even more difficult to win in the future. As for the black powder, although you can imitate it, there are so many under Li Zhe's rule, how can you compare with him! Those,  After all, they are all just small skills! Now I have studied Li Zhe's skills for many days, and the more I study, the more I understand that the place where Li Zhe is better than us is not in such small ways, but in the great road of governing the country!  The talent of a human being is as high as a mountain, and we will never be able to match it!"

    "Hmph! We have many heroes in Jingzhou in terms of governing the country. As long as you are willing to join us in our joint efforts and pool the wisdom of everyone, how can you not compare with them?"

    "Otherwise! If you and I are just geniuses, how can we compare with the wisdom of the whole country? The great thing about Li Zhe lies in his system. No matter who comes in, no matter whether he is wise or foolish, everyone will benefit from it.  , the wisdom of everyone is like a trickle of water, which will eventually merge into the sea like hundreds of rivers, forming a surging trend in the world. Faced with such a trend, even if the saint is resurrected, there is nothing he can do!"

    Pang Tong was crestfallen when he heard this. He came here with excitement in anticipation of a great victory and wanted to persuade Zhuge Liang to work together, but it was still in vain.

    "Hey! I can't help you after all! But the truth is just as you said, and we can't just sit back and wait for death! As the saying goes, a gentleman should strive for self-improvement, and he must do something good in his life! I waste my time  I have tried my best to create the current situation, and it has been decided. Even if Li Zhe is in a desperate situation, I will fight to the end with him! Kong Ming! With your intelligence, can you reallyYou have been living in the countryside all your life, and you are not willing to come and help me?  "

    Zhuge Liang hunched his back and slowly shook his head!  "It's useless! It's useless after all! Although I don't want to work with Li Zhe, I also know the general trend of the world! After all, people can't fight against the general trend! People like you and me, once they make a choice, they will have no regrets for life! Jump down  Now, don¡¯t harm me again!¡±

    Pang Tong sighed, and his voice was extremely sad, "Now, today, I am leaving, and we are saying goodbye to each other for life and death! We have known each other for many years, classmates, are you really so determined not to go to Jiangling with me?"

    Zhuge Liang shook his head. Although it was low and hoarse, he was extremely determined: "I won't go!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to (this site) and give rewards. Your support is  My biggest motivation.)
