Chapter 542 Miao Moqing Takes Action, the Corpses Attack the City!

"What? Are you surprised? Don't worry, the surprise is still to come."

Cao Ren sneered and then waved his hand.

Another fifty thousand troops slowly walked out behind Cao Ren.

Seeing the 100,000 coalition troops in front of him, Xu Rong's expression changed.

In contrast, Zhang Liao was a little excited.

With the blessing of the Death Battle, the Eighteen Yanyun Cavalry he brought could exert their maximum combat power.

"Wenyuan, let's ask the Lord for help and see if the Lord can send us more troops."

Zhang Liao smiled at Xu Rong's words.

"No need, two thousand versus one hundred thousand, the advantage is ours, let me charge."

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he rushed out with the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry.

Xu Rong knew that Zhang Liao could often win with less, but this time two thousand versus one hundred thousand, these were Cao Cao's elite cavalry, not the Yangzhou army. In comparison, Sun Jian's men were weaker than Cao Cao's. Don't know how much.

Seeing that Zhang Liao had already rushed out, it was too late for Xu Rong to stop him. He could only prepare all the people on hand to rescue Zhang Liao.

But Xu Rong still underestimated Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao led Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry. With the blessing of the deadly battle, the attack power increased directly to 2000%. An army of 100,000 people could not stop Zhang Liao and Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry.

Seeing that Zhang Liao was about to rush towards him with Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry, Gan Ning grinned and roared, then rushed forward with the ancient ingot sword in hand.

The Huanglong hook sickle and the ancient ingot knife collided together, causing sparks to fly. The huge impact force made the surrounding soldiers ring in the ears.

However, the two of them seemed to have no feelings and were still fighting.

Cao Ren saw that Gan Ning was unable to capture Zhang Liao in a short period of time, and Yan Yun's eighteen cavalry were still slaughtering one hundred thousand of his own. After hesitating for a moment, Cao Ren directly joined the siege of Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao was the commander of Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry. As long as Zhang Liao died, Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry would have little fighting power. As for Xu Rong in the city, Cao Ren ignored him.

Zhang Liao faced two famous generals alone, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Xu Rong, who was on the city wall, wanted to rush out to help, but there were already soldiers from Cao, who were beginning to attack the city, so he could only stay and command.

A stick of incense passed, Zhang Liao became a little tired, and there were some holes in his defense.

There was a cut on the arm.

Gan Ning used all his strength to slash at Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao held the yellow dragon hook sickle in front of him to resist.

The huge force made Zhang Liao's arms numb slightly.

At this moment, Cao Ren took the opportunity to chop Zhang Liao in the abdomen.

If this blow was successful, Zhang Liao would be seriously injured and his life would probably be in danger.

Just when Cao Ren was about to succeed, a sound of breaking wind sounded behind him.

Cao Ren's intuition as a famous general made him feel the threat to his life. He immediately turned the knife in his hand and blocked it behind him.

"bite"

An arrow hit the sword, and the powerful force made Cao Ren's body lean forward.

Turning his head, he saw Huang Zhong standing not far away, holding the Eight Treasure Kirin Bow in his hand, aiming at him.

Another arrow shot out.

Cao Ren saw this and cut off the arrow with his sword.

"Wenyuan, I wish you a helping hand."

Huang Zhong shouted, took out the red blood knife, and rushed towards Gan Ning.

After seeing Huang Zhong coming, Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief and fought against Cao Ren with all his strength.

Gan Ning was almost furious. He knew clearly that the knife in Huang Zhong's hand had the ability to restrain him, but he still couldn't dodge it. Huang Zhong would find him every time.

Seeing Huang Zhong's arrival, Xu Rong on the city wall also breathed a sigh of relief, because not only Huang Zhong came, but Huang Zhong also brought two hundred white feather Qingqi.

With Bai Yu Qingqi joining the battlefield, the pressure on Xu Rong's side was greatly reduced again.

Zhang Liao vented all the grievances he felt at being suppressed by the two men on Cao Ren.

As Zhang Liao's attacks became faster and stronger, Cao Ren gradually became unable to resist.

And Gan Ning, because of the Red Blood Sword's ability to suppress him, only twelve of the eighteen black shadows were left at this time.

Huang Zhong's attacks did not weaken as time went by, but became stronger and stronger. The existence of the black shadow greatly reduced the consumption of Huang Zhong by the Red Blood Sword.

Gan Ning tried his best to force Huang Zhong back a few steps, then shouted to Cao Ren on the side: "Retreat."

Cao Ren nodded, followed Gan Ning and turned around to leave.

Looking at the two people walking away, Zhang Liao immediately led Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry to pursue them, but was stopped by Huang Zhong.

"Don't worry, our mission is to guard Dangyang and ensure our food supply."

Zhang Liao nodded after hearing this.

He took everyone back to the city.

After counting, Yanyun's eighteen cavalry and nearly a thousand people remained. From this, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of Cao's army is indeed stronger than that of Yangzhou's army.

The number of troops in Xu Rong's hands was reduced by half.

"Old General Huang, why are you here? With so many famous generals on my lord's side, can we still hold on on the frontal battlefield?"

Xu Rong looked at Huang Zhong with some worry. No matter what, they were in the rear area. The real decisive battle would depend on the situation on the frontal battlefield.

"Don't worry, the Prime Minister is here, we don't need to worry about the frontal battlefield."

Cao Ren and Gan Ning established their camp ten miles away from Dangyang.

The two counted their own people and found that they had lost nearly 40,000 people in just one siege.

If this continues, the few people in their hands will die, and Dangyang may not be captured.

"We still need reinforcements."

Gan Ning looked at Cao Ren with a gloomy face.

Cao Ren and Cao Zhang were originally used by Cao Cao as ambushes, with the purpose of catching Liu Bei off guard, but now, Cao Ren's role is not great at all, and Huang Zhong directly broke Liu Bei's situation.

This is obviously Cao Cao's mistake.

Cao Ren sighed helplessly. He also understood that reinforcements were needed now, otherwise the two sides could only be deadlocked, but there were not many famous generals in the hands of the four-party coalition. If there were no famous generals on the battlefield today, it would be basically useless. Once Cao Cao sent more famous generals to their side, the front battlefield would be very empty. Once Liu Bei took the initiative to attack the coalition, the four-party coalition would be completely defeated.

The front line was defeated, so what was the point of them being here?

Just when the two were in trouble, a laugh sounded from outside the tent.

"Haha, you two seem to need some support."

"Who?"

The two of them became alert when they heard this.

After all, this is the central army camp, and no one in the entire camp dares to speak to them like this.

"It's me."

As soon as the voice fell, a person walked in from outside.

"Zhou Yu?"

"Grand Commander?"

The two voices sounded at the same time.

The person who came was Zhou Yu.

At this time, Zhou Yu was looking at them with a smile on his face, which was much more relaxed than the two people's frowns.

"Grand Commander, you can still laugh, we are already like this, our task is to solve Liu Bei's food problem, but now it's about to turn from a surprise attack into a tug-of-war. If we continue like this, I'm afraid we will lose on the front battlefield."

Listening to Gan Ning's words, Zhou Yu smiled mysteriously and opened the tent directly.

"My lord knows that there may be problems on your side, so I brought reinforcements, and this reinforcement will definitely help you win, at least to take Dangyang."

As soon as Zhou Yu's voice fell, Miao Moqing walked in from outside.

Seeing that the person who came to support was the leader of the Gu tribe, Gan Ning immediately became excited.

Gan Ning didn't know what kind of means the leader of the Gu tribe had. In the battle of Jiangxia, the direction they attacked was not the direction of the Gu tribe. It was only later that he heard Zhou Yu talk about what Jiangxia County looked like after the war.

But Gan Ning remembered that the mysterious pill that Miao Moqing gave him was very strong. If it weren't for that pill, how could he suppress Huang Zhong.

"Miao leader, you are here too. Did you bring that pill this time?"

Cao Ren on the side looked at Miao Moqing with some curiosity.

In terms of appearance, Miao Moqing is definitely a beauty, and it can be said that she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. He also heard Cao Zhang say how powerful this weird and unpredictable leader of the Gu tribe is. The pill also gave Cao Zhang a lot of help.

Miao Moqing shook her head at Gan Ning.

"General, the lord said that we don't need that thing this time. Your mission this time is to cut off Liu Bei's food supply, not to take over Liu Bei's territory."

Gan Ning and Cao Ren didn't understand what Miao Moqing meant, but Zhou Yu seemed to have thought of something. The smile on his face disappeared instantly and his face became gloomy.

Originally, Zhou Yu thought that Sun Jian asked Miao Moqing to come to improve the fighting power of Cao Ren and Gan Ning, but he didn't expect that Sun Jian wanted to kill them all.

"Chief, this is a county town. It seems unnecessary to do that? In this county town, in addition to Liu Bei's people, there are many civilians. No matter what, they are innocent. Even these civilians, after we win, we have to turn them into our own soldiers. Speaking of it, these civilians are also considered our own people, right?"

"General Zhou, I am just following the lord's orders. If you think it's not okay, you can tell the lord in person. As long as the lord tells me to stop the action, I will naturally not intervene."

"This..."

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment. He knew in his heart that Sun Jian didn't care about the life and death of these civilians.

In any case, Zhou Yu still couldn't bear this behavior that was almost like a massacre of the city. In his definition, war should not be like this.

Seeing that Zhou Yu stopped talking, Miao Moqing bowed to Zhou Yu and turned to walk out of the camp.

Gan Ning saw that this time it was not only the leader of the Gu tribe who came, but also four hundred Gu tribe members.

Huang Zhong and the other two were commanding the soldiers to clean up the bodies left outside the city.

When the two soldiers put the dead soldiers into the pit that had been dug long ago, they clasped their fists to all the bodies in the pit, turned around and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, a "creaking" sound suddenly appeared.

A soldier stopped and turned to look at the pit, and found that nothing happened.

"What's wrong?"

Another soldier looked at his companion curiously.

"I seem to have heard some noises in the pit."

"Noises? Impossible. They were all our dead companions. How could there be any noises? When we moved them here, we personally tested whether they were really dead. Only those who were really dead could be moved here. Could it be that these corpses could stand up and walk to you..."

When the soldier said this, his eyes widened and he pointed behind the other soldier with a look of horror.

"You... body, body... behind!"

"What?"

The soldier obviously didn't understand what his companion meant, and thought the man was trying to scare him, so he waved his hand.

"What? You mean there's a dead body standing behind me?"

The soldier laughed, then reached behind him.

But soon, he stopped laughing.

Because he felt as if he had touched something sticky. People who have been on the battlefield all year round certainly know what this feels like.

This is the feel of blood!

The soldier turned around and saw that the man they had just placed in the pit was standing behind them, with the long knife in his hand waving towards him.

The soldier was chopped down to the ground before he could even make a sound.

When another soldier saw this, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.

While running, he shouted: "It's a fake corpse! It's a fake corpse!"

When Huang Zhong and the others heard the sound, they immediately came to the city gate and happened to bump into the soldiers running back.

"What are you doing? What are you shouting about? You're committing suicide."

"It's a fake corpse, it's really a fake corpse! Generals, it's a fake corpse!"

"Fart, you're the one who cheated! Say it nicely!"

Xu Rong laughed angrily at the soldier's words and slapped the soldier on the head.

But soon, Xu Rong couldn't laugh anymore.

Because the three of them saw that the corpses on the ground outside the city that had not yet had time to sort out all stood up and limped towards the city gate.

"this……"

Xu Rong had never seen the last battle in Jiangxia County, so naturally he had never seen the scene of corpses being resurrected. Even though he was a general who had seen strong winds and waves, he was still stunned at this moment.

Huang Zhong has personally experienced this kind of thing, so he naturally knows its weaknesses and frightening aspects.

"That's it again!"

Huang Zhong frowned and murmured in a low voice. Huang Zu's appearance at that time seemed to appear in front of him again.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Liao also looked confused.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly, we can't defend this place."

Huang Zhong had no choice but to give the order.

Although the two of them didn't understand why Huang Zhong gave such an order, they still chose to believe Huang Zhong.

Although it is indeed not good to leave without fighting, when they were leaving, Gu Rubing and Zhuge Liang both said the same thing, defend if you can, and retreat if you can't.

After everyone safely evacuated Dangyang, everyone saw that the entire Dangyang City was shrouded in a green mist. They didn't know what it was, but they knew in their hearts that it was not a good thing.

"What the hell is this?"
