Zhu Huan faced the river wind and stood in the night, covered in blood, but his majesty at this moment could not be concealed.
"Xiumu... let's take a rest?
I'll take your place..."
Someone's deep voice came from behind, which made Zhu Huan's figure shake slightly.
"call…"
"No need, Gongyi, I am on duty tonight... Besides, if the other side makes a desperate move and counterattacks on the spot tonight, I'm worried that our remaining troops alone will not be enough to resist their full counterattack."
The person who spoke to Zhu Huan was Jiang Qin.
In the past few months, Jiang Qin had been the one who supported Zhu Huan to survive the civil strife.
Now it seems that there are not many problems with their choice.
In the past few months, fighting side by side with Zhu Huan also made the relationship between Jiang Qin and Zhu Huan more stable.
Both of them are veterans of Jiangdong. Although they are still in their prime, they are no longer as young and energetic as the new generation of generals like Quan Cong.
However... precisely because of their advanced composure, both Lu Xun and Yi Xiaotian chose to hand over this important task to them.
You can always trust established veterans.
Jiang Qin sighed:
"Indeed... the situation is still serious... I never thought that in just a year and a half, Liu Bei and the others would have such a terrifying navy. If Lu Meng had not lost to Guan Yunchang at the beginning of the year... If the captain's navy was still there
…”
"Don't mention the past things again. Times make heroes. Even Cao Cao couldn't take advantage of Guan Yunchang. What can a young man like Lu Meng do?"
Zhu Huan smiled and waved his hand, signaling Jiang Qin not to look down on Lu Meng.
"What's more... Gan Ning has already met with the lord and the others, hasn't he?
I heard that as long as we withstand the other side's navy, Gan Ning can completely cut off their retreat - everything depends on Mr. Yi's arrangements."
When Gan Ning was mentioned, the two of them also became interested... However, after some exchanges, they found that no one knew anything about Gan Ning's arrangements.
This is really a black eye...it is in line with the rules of cooperation with Yi Xiaotian.
"Fortunately, the people who command the enemy's navy are not of high standard... If you leave this fleet in my hands, to be honest... Xiumu, you will have to lie down and go back today."
"Hahaha...Then I really have to admire our luck?
Fortunately, it’s not Guan Yunchang who’s here!”
The same laughter...the laughter that resounded south of the river bank seemed to reveal the opponent's weakness in one word.
What's more, there is one thing that Wu Ban and Chen Shi are not very clear about...that is, there is a strong team on the way to Jingkou -
Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai, these two round-headed guys... Although they don't seem to be very proud in the past six months, if they want to fight you naked, just rely on Wu Ban, Chen Shi and the mob under them.
I'm afraid I can't stand these two.
——
The first ray of sunshine in the early morning is shining on the ground outside Piling City.
Yesterday's battlefield did not change much today. On the contrary, it looked even more desolate under the cold wind.
The garrison of Piling City, who had experienced a lot of celebration last night, was in a better spirit today than before. Even though they were at a disadvantage, no one could see the slightest hint of despair in their eyes.
At the same time, Liu Beijun didn't know what he had gone through... Today, he launched a general attack directly on Piling City without any probing.
Yes... Zhuge Liang may have really realized that something was wrong, so even if the morale of the army was almost collapsed, he knew that he could no longer make progress by being obedient.
There are more than 30,000 of them. In Piling City, the soldiers who survived after entering the city yesterday reported that the other party estimated that there were only more than 6,000 people.
Despite such an advantage, they ended up fighting in such a fragmented situation, which Zhuge Liang simply couldn't accept.
"Kong Ming...do you really want to fight?
The other party...the other party has that kind of scary thing called a bomb..."
The bomb, yes, the name of the bomb has spread among Liu Bei's army - the soldiers who survived yesterday heard someone mention the name of the bomb at the moment when the enemy detonated the bomb in the city... Such critical information naturally made
Zhuge Liang had so much confidence.
"We can no longer care about that kind of thing... As long as the soldiers are spread out a little, we can still fight - besides, I had people watching me all night last night, and I didn't see anyone on the other side going out of the city to plant bombs... If we just attack the city, the other side will also
We can’t really unleash the power of that weapon…”
"the most important is…"
Zhuge Liang faced Liu Bei who was lying on the bed a little haggardly, gritted his teeth and said no more——
The most important thing is... Zhuge Liang has a bad premonition now. He can't explain it... but this feeling is just as disgusting as the feeling he had every time he lost to Yi Xiaotian.
If it drags on any longer...maybe we will really lose.
"We must fight!"
Zhuge Liang's last sentence was this.
Zhang Fei is still in front of the gate of hell. The old doctor has not slept all night and is taking care of Zhang Fei all the time. He told Zhuge Liang that there are not enough medicinal herbs in the army, and special medicinal herbs must be purchased in the city.
Today...is the most critical day for Zhang Fei. If he can continue to breathe, Zhang Fei will wake up. If not...
Must fight...
All factors told Zhuge Liang that he must fight.
Then fight!
So even though morale is low today, Zhuge Liang's eyes are burning.
He vaguely understood one thing...that is, when fighting Yi Xiaotian, he must be ruthless...if he hesitates, he will definitely lose.
The result was just as he expected.
Piling City fell into a bitter battle as soon as the battle began. The problem of insufficient manpower caused Piling City's four front lines to panic. The bomb weapons they were afraid of did not appear at all.
Lu Xun commanded the army and barely managed to hold on to the food road behind him, and the front was almost attacked and destroyed. Chen Dao came to full force after resting for a long time. He vowed to regain face on the battlefield and looked particularly brave today.
Fortunately, Lu Meng and Zhu Ran fought hard to resist, and the situation was relatively stalemate for a while.
At this time, with the rising sun, on the winding post road to the west of Piling City, a group of galloping soldiers and horses were about to arrive at the city.
"Boss! Piling City is still doing well! But...but it's not very good!"
"Why does it sound like you don't expect the best from your husband?
Quick! Fire the command arrow! Let sir and the others open the door!"
"Okay!"
call out--
A fire arrow shot up into the sky. The guard at the west gate of Piling City saw the fire arrow in the sky and immediately became excited:
"Quick! Inform Mr. Yi and the general that they are coming! They are coming, they are coming!"
Here they come, they really come.
Yesterday's victory did not declare Jiangdong's complete victory.
Only today...today is the basis for reversing everything.
Yi Xiaotian stood on the streets of the inner city - there were no civilians left in the streets.
In the entire Piling City, except for a few people around Yi Xiaotian, there was no one else waiting.
He saw the fire arrows rising into the sky and finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"I went to pick up people and told Boyan that it was time for the chariot to move."
"in addition…"
Yi Xiaotian snapped his fingers - from the ordinary shade under the eaves, a dark figure swayed quietly to Yi Xiaotian's side.
He took out some letters that seemed to have been prepared from his arms and handed them to the man in black without saying a word.
"It's time to move... I hope... everything goes as planned."
Yi Xiaotian murmured - the man in black disappeared at the same time.
