At nearly noon, Zhuge Liang climbed up the tower of Jiangling City and saw a group of cavalry galloping from the due north. The leader was wearing a silver helmet, a white robe, and a silver armor lining. His eyes were deep and his face was full of emotion.
Handsome, such a handsome and handsome man.
Behind the handsome man in white robes were surrounded by six generals, each of whom was burly and tall. The flag bearer behind him was holding the banner of the Huaxia Kingdom. All the soldiers were uniformly dressed in the uniforms of the Huaxia Army. The snowy ground behind him stretched for more than three miles.
Long, winding and circling, like a long snake.
Soon, the cavalry galloped to the foot of Jiangling City. Under the leadership of the handsome man in white robes, they reined in the horses and stopped their progress.
"I am Sima Yi, the great general of the Huaxia Kingdom, please open the city gate quickly!" The handsome man in white robe shouted loudly towards the city wall.
When Zhuge Liang saw it, he just smiled slightly, clasped his fists towards the handsome man in white robe below and said: "I am Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. I am truly lucky to meet General Sima. According to the agreement between you and me, Jiangling
I have withdrawn all the soldiers and horses in the city, and now I am just waiting for the arrival of General Sima's army."
The handsome man in white robe said: "In this case, please open the city gate quickly. Once Wu Jun knows about it, I am afraid it will cause a dispute between the two countries."
"Haha, General Sima, why are you in such a hurry? It's still a short time before noon. I have already informed the people in the city that you can enter the city again after I leave from the south gate."
The handsome man in the white robe secretly thought in his mind: "What is the secret negotiation between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi? Since Zhuge Liang intends to surrender to the Huaxia Kingdom, why doesn't he just offer the city directly instead of going to unnecessary trouble?"
Suddenly, the handsome man in white robe was startled and said to himself: "Yes, Zhuge Liang must want to attack the four counties of Jingnan. If he surrenders to the Huaxia Kingdom, he will not be able to make an enemy of our army, so let's give up Jiangling City for the time being and go south.
To conquer the four counties in Jingnan is a matter between the Han army and our army, not the Wu army and the Huaxia army..."
When he thought of this, the handsome man in white robe immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and wanted more and more to capture Jiangling City first, and then send troops to attack the Han army, intercept Zhuge Liang and go south.
At this time, Zhuge Liang had already retreated from the tower, and all the soldiers on the tower also got off the tower.
A general behind the handsome man in white robes waited impatiently and said, "Grand Governor, if it's too late, something might happen."
The handsome man in white robe was Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Wu army. After hearing this, he said: "Don't act too hastily, otherwise you will get into trouble. Wait a little, and your impatience will mess up your big plan."
"promise!"
Zhou Yu and others waited for a while, and in the blink of an eye, at noon, they saw the suspension bridge was lowered in the city, the city gate was also opened, and a dozen people wearing ordinary people's clothes ran into the city in an instant, and disappeared in a flash.
Yes, there is no one on the street facing the city gate.
"Grand Governor, is there any fraud?" Zhou Tai followed Zhou Yu, and when he saw such a scene, he couldn't help but feel more thoughtful.
Zhou Yu said: "The Han army is eager to hand over the city to the Chinese army. The purpose is not Jiangling, but the four counties of Jingnan where our army is weak. The people in the city must be hiding out of fear. How can there be any deception?"
With that said, Zhou Yu was the first to ride forward, followed closely by Zhou Tai and others, and more than ten thousand cavalry rushed into the city.
When Zhou Yu was about to arrive at the gate of Wengcheng with Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Song Qian, He Qi, Pan Zhang, Dong Xi and more than 3,000 cavalry, he suddenly heard the sound of bangs, and the ambush on the tower was full of thousands of arrows.
At the same time,
, a group of soldiers wearing vine armor immediately came out from both sides of the city tower and the urn city. After a series of hacking, they quickly occupied the city gate. The invulnerable vine armor soldiers quickly forced the cavalry out of the city gate, and then prepared to close it.
city gate.
"What's wrong, I've fallen into Zhuge Xiao'er's trick! Go back, go back!" Seeing this, Zhou Yu hurriedly shouted out.
"Whoosh!"
A long arrow hit Zhou Yu's left arm directly, and blood flowed out immediately. Seeing this, Zhou Tai hurriedly protected Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin, Song Qian, He Qi, Dong Xi, and Pan Zhang, and the five generals also rushed back to kill him.
When he went there, he saw that the city gate was about to be closed. The cavalry who rushed in were all panicked. Facing the invulnerable rattan armored soldiers, the Wu army had no choice but to give them their heads.
"Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang, protect the governor, the others will follow me!" At the critical moment, Zhou Tai waved his sword and gave the order, riding his horse forward.
Arrows were flying in the air, and vine-armored soldiers on the ground blocked their way. Once the city gate was closed, no matter how brave they were, they would only have to wait for death.
Zhou Tai rode his horse and danced with his sword, taking the lead. He was hit by three arrows in the chest and two arrows stuck in his back. Even so, he was particularly fearless. He raised the sword in his hand and slashed at the vine-armored soldiers in front with all his strength.
Although the vine armored soldier was invulnerable, he still suffered a lot of damage from the heavy blow. Zhou Tai struck it with the back of his sword and used all his strength. After a heavy blow, the vine armored soldier was immediately knocked away by Zhou Tai.
, stumbled backwards and vomited a lot of blood from his mouth.
At this moment, Zhou Tai saw the gap between the vine armor helmet and the breastplate of the vine armor soldier, and his eyes let out a gleam of light. He then turned the big knife in his hand in a circle and swung it out with the blade. A cold light flashed through, and then
With a bloody light, a human head fell to the ground.
"Behead! Behead! The Vine Armor Soldier is not invincible. It needs to be hit with gravity and then beheaded!" Zhou Tai discovered the weakness of the Vine Armor Soldier and howled loudly.
As soon as it dispersed, everyone followed suit. In just a moment, Zhou Tai used his own strength to fight his way out.
After he broke out of the siege, he turned around and saw that Zhou Yu and others were still surrounded, so he turned his horse's head, fought in again, rescued Zhou Yu and escaped.
Arrows rained like rain, and more than 3,000 Wu cavalrymen who entered the city were all injured. Song Qian was shot to death by random arrows, Dong Xi was hacked to death by vine armor soldiers, and He Qi was fighting when he bumped into Fu Tong. Fu Tong's hand
The sword was raised and lowered, and He Qi was beheaded under the horse with one strike.
Zhou Yu was protected by Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang. Zhou Tai opened the way in front, and the cavalry outside the city cooperated with each other. Finally, he escaped with his life and ran toward the southeast.
Fu Tong led his army to pursue Ling Cao, who was ambushing outside the city. Chen Wu blocked the way, and Wu's army had many soldiers, so Fu Tong had to turn around and return to the city.
After returning to the city, Fu Tong carried He Qi's head and came to Zhuge Liang. He said with a smile: "Prime Minister, everything is as expected. Our army won another battle. It's just a pity that we failed to kill Zhou Yu.
"
Zhuge Liang witnessed the entire war process, and after seeing Zhou Tai's bravery, he said: "The Wu army lost two battles in a row and has been weakened. Don't clean up the mess in the city. You leave a hundred people and wait for the Chinese army on the spot."
Come, you and the rest of the people will follow me, our target is the four counties of Jingnan."
"promise!"
So Fu Tong left a hundred soldiers to guard the city, and Zhuge Liang, Fu Tong and others withdrew from the south gate. After a hundred Han soldiers separated the bodies, they were about to close the city gate when they saw Niu Jin leading his troops.
When they arrived, they saw Niu Jin and recognized him as a general of the Chinese army, so they put him directly into the city without stopping him.
Niu Jin entered the city with 8,000 cavalry. After entering the city, he quickly divided his troops and occupied the four gates, guarding them tightly. He also removed the banners of the Han army and planted the banners of the Chinese army that had been prepared all over the city. In just a moment, Jiangling
The city then completed the handover work.
Zhou Yu was defeated, but he was not far from Jiangling City. He saw Chinese military flags on Jiangling City all over the city. He was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed: "Zhuge, I am Zhou Gongjin."
I swear I will not be at odds with you!"
After Zhou Tai broke out of the siege, he lost too much blood due to being hit by several arrows and using too much force. As soon as he reached a safe place, he immediately fell off his horse. Seeing that Zhou Yu had lost his troops and generals, he had lost the occupation.
Jiangling City had the upper hand, and out of grief and anger, they could only announce their withdrawal.
At this time, Sun Ce returned here with more than ten riders. Seeing that Zhou Yu was injured, Zhou Tai was unconscious, and many soldiers were scarred. He also defeated three generals, Song Qian, He Qi, and Dong Xi. He couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Your Majesty, Jiangling City is already in the possession of the Chinese army. This is Zhuge Liang's treacherous plan. Now our army should quickly return to defense to avoid losses to the four counties in Jingnan. Zhuge Liang's target is in the four counties in Jingnan..."
"Gong Jin, I understand. You worked hard for the country and were injured by an arrow. Leave the rest to me. I will personally guard the four counties in Jingnan. Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang." Sun Ce called.
"The end is here!"
"Escort the Governor and General Hussar back to Jiangxia, and be sure not to conflict with the Chinese army along the way!"
"promise!"
Sun Ce turned his face and looked at Ling Cao and Chen Wu, and said: "Follow me to the four counties in Jingnan and inform Zhu Ran's navy that they must set up defenses along the Yangtze River to prevent the Han army from crossing south. Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, you will lead
We have five thousand soldiers, stay here and wait and see what happens. If the Chinese army makes any unusual move, please notify me immediately. We will also send out scouts to notify Sun Jing immediately and ask him to prepare defenses in Jingnan."
"promise!"
"Your Majesty, please don't keep any troops again. Xu Sheng and Ding Feng are all brave men. If your Majesty keeps them with you, they will be useful. The foundation of our army in the four counties of Jingnan is not stable. I am afraid that once the news of Zhuge Liang's southern expedition comes out,
, all the people in the four counties responded, and when the time comes, they will inevitably
After a big battle with Zhuge Liang, I cannot return to Jiangxia. The right general of the Chinese army, Chen Dao, moved to Huarong Road with the purpose of preventing our army from returning to Jiangxia. At present, our army must protect the four counties in Jingnan, otherwise, our army will lose its troops and generals.
, You won’t be able to get an inch of land!” Zhou Yu said.
Sun Ce said: "But Gong Jin, your injury..."
"It's not in the way, I can't die. It's just a superficial wound, what's the big deal?" Zhou Yu insisted, "Your Majesty, Youping's injury is serious, you can send someone back to Chaisang, and let Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang go to Jiangxia as soon as possible.
Guarding, we have already lost Jiangling, we must not lose Jiangxia again."
Sun Ce thought for a long time and then said: "Okay, I also need Gong Jin to advise me."
So Sun Ce sent people to send Zhou Tai back to Chaisang to recuperate, and asked Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang to take some troops and horses back to Jiangxia, but they were not allowed to pass through Huarong Road. He took all the troops and horses to cross the river south, preparing for a bloody battle in Jingnan.
