Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 570

Xiang Xun sneered: "Yo? Are you still in a hurry?"

Lu Meng suppressed the anger in his heart, then took out the imperial edict from his bosom, and shouted sharply: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, this is the edict of the emperor's reward. My lord is now General Hussars, Jingzhou Mu, and Nanchang Hou, and he was ordered to conquer the imperial edict for self-reliance. Liu Bei, the king's rebel, and Guan Yu, the minion who is entrenched in Jingzhou, will you see the edict and not come down quickly?"

"My lord also received the emperor's edict to go to the king of Hanzhong, and General Guan also received the edict to go north to the king, so you dare to use the edict to make a fool of yourself?" Xiang Xunxu rolled his eyes.

"Liu Bei pretends to be the king, and you don't know right from wrong. You really are bastards and damned." Lu Meng gritted his teeth.

"Who is the man in the city? With such a loud tone, could it be that he just came back from the toilet?" Xiang Xun continued to tease.

Han Dang couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this, he shouted angrily in a majestic voice: "This is General Lu Meng, the governor of Jiangdong, how can you wait for unknown people to know him?"

"Lü Meng? The one who flattered General Guan? Sure enough, he was born with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and his face is hideous. I don't care if I don't care about such a clumsy face." Xiang Xun sneered.

Lv Meng almost exploded, Han Dang followed and scolded: "The garrison in Jiangling City is only two or three thousand, and our army strength is ten times that of yours now. If we don't know the current affairs and resist stubbornly, after the city is broken, we will be destroyed. Liu Bei claims to be the clan of the Han family, Benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, why didn't the general open the city and surrender in front of the emperor's edict? That would not make the people suffer."

"Hahaha, do you still know that my lord is a clan member of the Han Dynasty? The emperor will issue an edict to the clan clan, or will he issue an edict to the rebels who invaded Jiangdong? Isn't this a judgment between superiors and inferiors?" Xiang Xun laughed heartily. .

"Bastard, what is your name, do you dare to announce your name? You have repeatedly despised and slandered my lord, and I will kill you after breaking the city." Lu Meng's face was full of anger.

Xiang Xun pointed at Lu Meng, "This kind of stamina is also worthy of being a commander-in-chief? This general is Xiang Xun of Nanjun. Although he is only a small lieutenant, if he wants to kill me, he has to show his real skills.

But is it absurd that the Sun family is a bandit?In the past, Sun Jianqiang took Wu as his wife, his son Sun Ceqiang took Da Qiao as his concubine, and Sun Quan forced Yuan Shu's daughter as his concubine. This is how their father and son treat women, let alone Jiangdong, which does not belong to them? "

"Governor, it's useless to talk too much, let's attack." Even Han Dang couldn't help it.

"Xiang Xun, I have written you down, wait for my anger."

After Lu Meng finished speaking, he was escorted back to the formation, and Jiangdong soldiers and horses soon launched an attack on Jiangling, but the city of Jiangling was tall and strong, and Xiang Xun had already made sufficient preparations.

The Jiangdong side fought from noon to evening, and finally dragged their tired bodies to camp outside the city to rest. They thought that the defenders on the other side would rarely surrender when they heard the wind, but they met Xiang Xun, who was so tough.

After dinner at night, Lu Meng was lying in the tent and taking a nap, when Han Dang suddenly came in with armor.

Hearing the sound, Lu Meng sat up, "The old general has worked hard, Liu Bei's subordinates are full of tricks, and they may rob the camp at night. It doesn't hurt to be careful."

"The governor is very thoughtful."

Han Dang nodded in agreement on the surface, but he didn't believe that Xiang Xun dared to go out of the city to rob the camp. After all, the opponent only had two or three thousand defenders. Lu Meng is so cautious now because of the humiliating experience in Jiaozhou that year. I educated at night, and at this time it became "I was bitten by a snake once and afraid of well ropes for ten years".

"Old General Han is going to make arrangements before going to bed. Tomorrow, we will divide our army into three parts, and attack from three sides at the same time. As long as the commotion is big enough, those secret workers in the city will be able to take advantage of the situation. I don't believe that the patrol People can hold on to this." Lu Meng showed a gloomy expression.

"The governor should rest early, and the final general will do it." Han Dang walked out with his hands clasped together.

The next day, Lu Meng divided the Jiangdong Army into three parts. A total of nine groups of people took turns to attack from three sides at the same time.

Because of the limited number of defenders, Xiang Xun had to travel between the city gates to supervise the battle. He found that the Jiangdong soldiers were shouting loudly, but under the invitation of dense bows and arrows, falling rocks, and rolling logs, very few were able to climb the city wall through the ladder. few.

Lu Meng's wheel battle lasted for a whole day. The defenders sat on the spot and fell asleep. The opponent didn't stop for almost a moment, so the defense was very intense. Xiang Xun had to arrange soldiers to be on duty at night, and he didn't know how long this kind of days would last. How long, but fortunately, there are enough military supplies in the city, and the food reserves are also very rich. As long as he can persist for more than ten days, he believes that Jiangdong's offensive will weaken. After all, the defenders of the city have a huge advantage.

That night, when Lan Ji and Guan Xing were patrolling the city, they arrested dozens of people who had violated the curfew and took to the streets. The two had no time to interrogate whether they were fine-tuned, and they were all sent to jail for processing after the war.

Most of the internal responses sent by Lu Meng in advance were arrested that night. They mistakenly thought that the city defense army was too busy, so they planned to set fire to make chaos, and intentionally scare the people of Jiangling, so that they could take advantage of the fire to loot and seize the city gate. Five hundred young soldiers cleared away.

For the next two days, the offensive outside the city continued unabated, and the defenders on the city wall were very tired.

In order to buy time for his subordinates to rest, Xiang Xun asked Lan Ji for some Cao Jun prisoners to help defend the city. This time, in addition to carrying military supplies, they had to stand on the city wall and throw down rocks and logs.

Because he was worried that the captives would take the opportunity to make trouble, Lan Ji sent a hundred young guards to each city wall. They sharpened their swords and stood behind the captives. Once they found any signs of mutiny, they could kill them on the spot.

The captives were tortured by Lan Ji for more than a month, and their original sharpness and arrogance had all disappeared. In front of these 'demonic' teenagers, they could only passively choose to obey. It was better to walk up the city wall and throw stones than to be beaten. Also filled the stomach.

At night, Lan Ji sent the young soldiers to patrol the streets again, completely blocking the paths of those who slipped through the net, and the pressure on Xiang Xun was directly reduced by half.

At this moment, Xiang Xun finally understood Guan Yu and Xu Shu's intentions. The original [-] captives left behind by Xu Shu also indirectly became a tool for Lan Ji to defend the city.

Xiang Xun felt that Lan Ji was born for war, and he was more proficient in dispatching troops than he, a lieutenant, but Xiang Xun didn't know that Lan Ji had been fascinated by it since he was a child, and some things had already been written in his blood.

Both the attacker and the defender, one ebbs and another, the easier Jiangling City is to defend, the more distressed Lu Meng outside the city is.

Five days later, the Jiangdong Army's losses had reached [-]%, and the nine groups in charge of the wheel battle were getting smaller and smaller. Seeing this, Lu Meng had to weaken his attack, and then sent people to Sun Jiao's place to continue drawing troops.

Lu Meng looked at Jiangling City and frowned. Is it because the previous information was wrong, or was Xiang Xun's organization too strong?Why do the defenders seem to be getting more and more?
