Chapter 925 Zhou Yu Arrives

"Humph, you'd better take care of yourself first!"

when!

Another knife attack came, Quan Cong hurriedly raised the knife and finally blocked Liu Pan's knife. Suddenly his whole face turned red, and a mouthful of blood rushed into his throat, and he swallowed it hard. Go down.

Not only Quan Cong was in a hard fight, but even the Jiangdong Army was in a hard fight. This group of Jingzhou soldiers wanted to escape from the burning city, so they all launched a fierce attack on the Jiangdong Army. The two armies were evenly matched in numbers. Next, Jingzhou soldiers launched a fierce attack, and Jiangdong Army naturally had a tendency to be unable to resist.

hateful! Wouldn't it be nice if there were more soldiers around? This Liu Pan will definitely not be able to break out! Quan Cong cursed in his heart.

"Haha, little Quan Cong, it seems that you are going to die today. Don't worry, I will leave you intact." Liu Pan sneered.

"dream!"

Suddenly, the horn sounded from the east, and the expressions of Quan Cong and Liu Pan changed drastically, but they were different. Quan Cong was overjoyed, while Liu Pan's expression changed drastically.

"Haha, brothers, the reinforcements have arrived, drive the Jingzhou army back to the city!" Quan Cong laughed.

"Kill!"

The morale of the Jiangdong Army, which had been suppressed by the Jingzhou Army, suddenly increased, and they roared and charged towards the opposite side one by one. However, the morale of the originally fierce and brave Jingzhou Army dropped, and reinforcements suddenly arrived from the opposite side. Wouldn't this be bad?

Under the ebb and flow of one another, the Jiangdong Army, which was already in decline, blocked the surging offensive from the opposite side, and the two armies fell into a stalemate for a while.

At this time, dense footsteps from the east finally sounded, and the three thousand Jiangdong Army infantry arrived belatedly.

"The entire army listened to the order and immediately supported Quan Sima and launched a fierce attack on the Jingzhou Army!"

Zhou Yu pulled out his sword and gave an order. The three thousand Jiangdong Army immediately roared, and then rushed forward in groups, attacking the Jingzhou Army from the side.

"kill!"

The three thousand Jiangdong Army had not participated in the battle before. Although they had traveled a long way, they still had sufficient physical strength and were a new force. These three thousand people had just entered the battlefield and immediately showed their unique strength, giving the Jingzhou Army a heavy blow from the side!

As a result, Jiangdong Army gathered as many as 4,000 people outside the east gate, which far exceeded the Jingzhou Army in number. Moreover, they were attacking from two sides, and the Jingzhou Army suddenly fell into a siege.

Quan Cong was already at a disadvantage by Liu Pan. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements led by Commander-in-Chief Zhou Yu himself, Quan Cong felt an extra surge of strength from nowhere and suddenly struck Liu Pan with his sword.

"Good thief, where to go?"

Liu Pan was furious: "You little thief, are you seeking death?"

"Hahaha, our Jiangdong Army reinforcements have arrived. It's you who are going to die now, not me!"

Quan Cong tried his best to entangle Liu Pan, slashing left and right with a steel knife in his hand, refusing to let Liu Pan go.

"Capture Liu Pan alive!"

"The Governor has an order. Anyone who catches Liu Pan will be promoted to a higher rank and will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins!"

"Don't leave Liu Pan!"

Hearing the shouting, Liu Pan had no choice but to force Quan Cong back with a feint of his sword, and shouted: "The whole army retreats, and we will return to the city for the time being, and then make plans!"

If he continued to fight with Jiangdong's army, he might be captured alive by the other party. After thinking about it, he decided to fight back to the city first.

The morale of the Jingzhou Army, which had been attacked by the Jiangdong Army from both sides, had dropped significantly. At this moment, they were left without a master. When they heard Liu Pan's call, they had no choice but to follow Liu Pan and retreat towards the city.

"Don't leave the enemy, fire arrows!" Quan Cong ordered.

Whoosh whoosh!

Facing the fleeing Jingzhou Army, Jiangdong Army naturally couldn't let the enemy go in vain. They opened their bows and set arrows, aiming at the back of the Jingzhou Army and shooting out.

"ah!"

The fleeing Jingzhou army naturally had their backs exposed. The armors of this era were mostly of the binding type, tied to the body with ropes. The armor was mainly tied in front of the body. After all, the enemy's swords and guns could not turn, so it was naturally impossible. Stab in the back, only high-ranking generals can afford to wear full-body heavy armor, covering the front and back in armor.

Therefore, these Jingzhou soldiers did not have armor on their backs, so they were naturally unable to defend themselves against the arrows that were fired at them. Suddenly, more than a hundred Jingzhou soldiers were hit by arrows in the back, and their casualties were much higher than when they rushed out.

"Come on, hurry up!"

Liu Pan urged loudly. When the Jingzhou soldiers saw the Jiangdong Army reinforcements arriving, they immediately lost their fighting spirit. They all turned around and ran away, rushing back to the city gate, leaving corpses on the ground.

Liu Pan originally led more than a thousand soldiers to charge out, but the result was an anticlimax. After leaving half of the corpses behind, the remaining people ran back in despair.

"Zihuang, are you okay?"

Zhou Yu rode his horse to Quan Cong and asked in a harmonious voice.

"Don't worry, Governor, I'm fine." Quan Cong laughed and said, "It's just a pity that we couldn't catch that kid Liu Pan."

"It doesn't matter, as long as Liu Pan is not allowed to escape, it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Although Liu Pan is Liu Biao's nephew, he has controlled the four counties in Jingnan for a long time, but now that Liu Biao is dead, it is the Xiliang army that occupies Jingzhou. If in the past, when Liu Biao was in power, Zhou Yu would definitely try his best to capture Liu Pan alive. But now, the difference between Liu Pan being burned to death or being captured alive is almost the same.

"Zihuang, I will give you another thousand soldiers. If Liu Pan organizes his soldiers to fight out of the city again, are you confident in stopping him?" Zhou Yu asked Quan Cong.

Quan Cong immediately clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, Liu Pan just failed to break through the encirclement, and his morale has been damaged. My own troops alone are enough to resist the enemy."

Zhou Yu shook his head: "Just follow my orders. Liu Pan cannot escape no matter what."

Quan Cong nodded solemnly, saying that he would either capture Liu Pan or trap him in the city.

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, since this is the case, I am relieved. I will lead the troops to rescue Ziyi."

"Grand Governor, walk slowly."

Quan Cong said goodbye, and Zhou Yu took the remaining two thousand soldiers and rushed west to help.

Among Zhou Yu's previous deployments, Tai Shici had the heaviest task. Quan Cong, Lu Meng and other four generals only had to guard the city gate and block the Jingzhou soldiers who might rush out. They could rely on the geographical advantage.

Taishi Ci, on the other hand, wanted to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to compete with Huang Zhong's 5,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, and was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength.

Fortunately, Taishi Ci's mission was not to defeat Huang Zhong, but only to stop him. Moreover, Taishi Ci was the leading brave general in the Jiangdong Army, so there should be no problem.

However, just in case, Zhou Yu whipped the horse and shouted: "Quick! Speed ​​up and rush to the aid of Captain Taishi!"
