Shuhan

Chapter 226 Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, who dares to compete with me? !

Jiujiang County.

Chengde City.

Chengde City is in the southeast of the county.

The Fei River passes through the Jiujiang River in the northwest of Chengde County, enters Shaopi, and joins the Yanrun River in the north and right.

One or two miles away from the side of Feishui, in addition to Chengde County, there is also a city called Dicheng.

The two cities stand by the water, they can help each other, and naturally, they can form a barrier.

At this moment, under Chengde City, an offensive and defensive battle is going on fiercely:

The Jiangdong army marched in parallel by land and water, and launched a menacing offensive around Chengde City.

In the Jiangdong army formation outside the city, all kinds of siege equipment are neatly placed, such as shooting towers, catapults, ladders, etc., all appear full of momentum.

In the city, the soldiers of the Wei Army braved the cold wind in early spring and guarded the city with difficulty.

Wearing thick cotton clothes, some of them wore armor, they stood on the city wall, holding spears, bows and arrows tightly, watching the enemy outside the city vigilantly.

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The drums sounded.

Jiangdong soldiers galloped towards the city wall with all kinds of siege equipment.

With the previous experience of attacking Hefei, this time Jiangdong's army attacked Chengde, it became much calmer.

After all, Hefei's flesh and blood mill is coming, what is your little Chengde?
His Jiangdong infantry were unbearable in battle. On the one hand, the southerners were indeed not as tall as the northerners, but more because the north was often caught in wars. If there were too many battles, it would naturally be more powerful.

Although there are wars in the south, there are not many wars, at least not as many as in the north.

This time to attack Hefei City, the Jiangdong army summed up the experience of attacking the city and pulling out the village.

All kinds of siege equipment have been built, and the siege sequence is also orderly.

Facing the Jiangdong army coming in like a tide.

In the archery tower on the top of Chengde City, the archers of the Wei army pulled their strings nervously, and the arrows rained down like rain, and shot fiercely at the army formation of the Jiangdong army.

However, Jiangdong's army used shield protection, gritted their teeth to withstand the attack of the rain of arrows, and continued to advance.

The siege equipment began to work, the catapult made a deafening roar, and huge stones flew towards the city wall, hit the ground, and splashed earth and rocks.The stones on the city wall were smashed until cracks appeared, and the soldiers of the Wei army in the city couldn't help feeling tense.

The Jiangdong water army did not show weakness either. They sailed up the current with giant warships and attacked Chengde City, just like the surging tide of a huge wave hitting the city wall.

Hundreds of warships lined up on the water, and the crossbowmen on board raised their bows and set arrows, ready to fire at any time.The soldiers of the Wei army on the city wall stared nervously ahead, picked up their bows and arrows, and prepared to resist the coming offensive.

The warships of the Jiangdong Navy quickly approached the city wall, and the sailors brandished spears, claws and other equipment in an attempt to climb up the city wall.The soldiers of the Wei army on the top of the city pushed them back with spears and slings, but the large number of naval forces kept on attacking the city wall.

The catapults were fired continuously from the top of the city, and the falling rocks hit the boats, making a dull impact sound.

However, the huge boulders from the catapults on the east side of the river kept hitting Chengde City. The stones on the city wall were shattered, and sometimes they were even covered by holes made by stone bullets.

Soldiers of the Wei army continued to repair the city wall and temporarily reinforced it with planks and soil blocks, but the Jiangdong navy's offensive was like a raging tide, constantly impacting the defense line of the city wall.

The crossbowmen on the navy used the cover of the hull to shoot a dense rain of arrows. The arrows roared through the air and hit the soldiers of the Wei army on the city wall.

The defending soldiers on the city wall fought back vigorously, shooting arrows at the enemy on the navy, but the hull of the navy changed its position and kept looking for shooting gaps, so that the Wei army on the city wall was passive.

Zheng!
Zheng!
Zheng!
"Kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

The sound of horns came from the city, and the soldiers of the Wei army strengthened their defenses, blocked the rain of arrows with shields, and fought back with spears and bows.

However, the Jiangdong Navy's offensive was still fierce. The siege equipment kept destroying the city wall, the archers kept falling, and the morale of the Wei army on the top of the city gradually declined.

They feel the pressure from all sides.

In the cold wind, Wei Jun still stood firm on the city wall, but the anxiety and helplessness in his heart gradually accumulated.

Chengde City became a battlefield where the offensive and defensive sides fought brutally. The roar of siege equipment outside the city, the sound of shooting arrows, the shouts of soldiers, and the defensive shouts of the Wei army inside the city intertwined into a tense and intense situation.

Cao Hong was on Chengde City at the moment, with an extremely anxious expression on his face.

"Why isn't General Wen Yuan here?"

He and Zhang Liao divided their forces, and each guarded a city.

He guards Chengde, while Zhang Liao guards Dicheng.

However, Chengde City was stormed by Jiangdong's army for several days, yet Zhang Liao came to help?
The distance between the two cities is only a few miles!

"I'm afraid that Di City will also be attacked by Jiangdong's army!"

The general beside Cao Hong said with a wry smile.

"I bah~"

Cao Hong spat, his eyes gradually became sharper.

"Regardless of whether there is a rush to help or not, let's keep Chengde and talk about it, and we can't add trouble to the king anymore!"

If he throws Hefei first, and damages the food and grass of the army, and then throws Chengde, then he can find a piece of tofu and kill him.

And on the other side, outside Di City.

Zhang Liao was indeed trapped by the Jiangdong army.

Lu Meng, the governor of Jiangdong, led an army and surrounded Dicheng.

Of course, it was just a siege, not a siege. Jiangdong only needed to take a stronghold in the north.

Moreover, the damage caused by siege is too great. Even if Sun Quan spares the lives of his soldiers, he still has to consider the victory or defeat of the war.

If the Jiangdong man's blood is drained, what kind of world will he fight for in the future?
Compared with the tranquility inside and outside Dicheng, the northern part of Dicheng was much more lively. Jiangdong soldiers moved earth and rocks, felled trees, and quickly built a camp, obviously planning to stay here for a long time.

On the city wall, Zhang Liao's armor was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do about it.

In the past few days, he rushed in daytime and broke through at night, ready to support Chengde, but was beaten back by Lu Meng.

There were only 3000 soldiers in Dicheng, and his injuries were not completely healed.

It has become a luxury to break through the siege and rush to help Chengde.

I hope Cao Hong can really keep Chengde.

If you can't keep it, it's not a matter of not being able to collect Hefei.

Shouchun was exposed to the front of Jiangdong's army.

Then
Zang Ba and Sun Quan encircle Shouchun, the king is in danger!
However.
At this moment, Zhang Liao, who was so worried, couldn't do anything.

For today's plan, it is time to wait for the right time.

at the same time.

Jiangdong Camp outside Chengde City.

In the tent of the Chinese army.

In the past few days, Sun Quan has been in a good mood overall, talking and laughing every day.

He collected a few beauties in Jiujiang County, these few days and nights, he has not been idle, venting his excess energy.

It's just that these happy days are always short.

Now, there is a bad news thrown in his face:

"My lord, the banner of the Wei Army appeared outside the city of Hefei. They raided the city of Hefei at night and made a big camp. They set fire to half of the city and killed half of the civilians."

"what?"

Hearing that there was chaos in the rear, Sun Quan panicked.

"How many Wei troops can be detected?"

"It was dark last night, but according to the surviving civilian husbands outside the city, there were at least five or six thousand people."

Five 6000 people?

Such a huge army actually fled to the rear?

Sun Quan's eyes flickered, and he said with some hesitation: "My Jiangdong army is concentrated on the front line of Hefei and Chengde, and Jiujiang County is empty. If five or six thousand people enter the rear, is it because no one can control them?"

In fact, it is not just Jiujiang County that is empty.

Jiangdong is also empty.

In Jianye City, there are only a few thousand people guarding it.

The other soldiers were hoarded in Xunyang City next to Jiangxia County, in case Yu Jin who was stationed in Jiangxia suddenly sent troops and threatened his rear.

As a party who often attacked others, Sun Quan knew how to prevent others from engaging in sneak attacks.

just
Jingzhou was prevented by the ban, but the Wei army who rushed in suddenly, could it be prevented?

"Quickly summon the army of counselors to discuss this matter in the account!"

With a wave of his hand, Sun Quan immediately summoned Lu Xun, Zhuge Jin, Gu Yong and others to come to see him.

Not long.

In the main account of the Chinese army, the generals and advisers who were not sent to fight are basically in place.

"There are five or six thousand Wei troops in Hefei, what should our army do?"

Sun Quan cut straight to the point and asked questions directly.

Hearing this news, there was a hissing sound of sucking air from the main tent of the Chinese army.

Gu Yong immediately stepped forward and said: "We should send a strong army to defeat this Wei army of thousands of people! Otherwise, if they go to the rear of our army to cause chaos and disturb the grain road, the front will be restless!"

Zhuge Jin also stepped forward and said: "My lord, there is no room for loss in the grain road in the rear. Besides, not only the grain road, but even Jiangdong are in danger of being harassed, so we must pay attention to it!"

Sun Quan could also think of the thoughts of these two people. At this moment, Sun Quan's eyes were fixed on Lu Xun.

"Bo Yan, what do you think?"

Lu Xun frowned, thinking all the time, when Sun Quan asked him this question, he immediately stepped forward and saluted Sun Quan slowly, and then said:
"Five to 6000 people is a huge number. It is impossible for the Wei army not to receive the news. Hefei was attacked at night, and the Wei army set fire to it. It is normal to say that there are too many people.

We should first find out the number of Wei troops behind us, and send some elites to garrison Hefei to consolidate the food roads. At the same time, order the rear city to be closed tightly. "

Lu Xun's analysis was well-founded. Sun Quan nodded and said, "I think so too, but if there are really 6000 or [-] people in the rear and something happens, it's not good. Bo Yan, I order you to lead the way." Three thousand elites, go to Hefei to take charge of the overall situation, can you keep the rear from chaos?"

Three thousand?

There are few people.

However, Lu Xun also understood that at this moment, the Jiangdong army was scattered, and the 3000 people were still squeezed out, even the 3000 people who were guarding Sun Quan's side to protect his safety.

After all, there are important people in the siege of the city, in the siege of the city, in order to prevent the Shouchun Wei army from rushing to the rescue of the important people, and the cities occupied in the rear need to be guarded.

The [-] troops were scattered, but there were not many left.

"This subordinate is willing to take this order, and must find out the situation to ensure that the rear is not chaotic!"

"it is good!"

Hearing what Lu Xun said, Sun Quan got up from his seat.

He walked up to Lu Xun, patted him on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "If you can do this, I will use you again!"

In the front, Lu Xun had the merits of breaking Hefei and attacking Weiying.

If you add the merits of ensuring the stability of the rear, after counting the merits, you will be able to sit on the position of the governor, and there will be no criticism in the army.

As for Lu Meng?

My Sun Zhongmou has another 'reuse' for him!
The position of the governor of Jiangdong is better for someone who completely listens to his own words.

Lu Meng had been here for a long time, and he had many contacts with the Jiangdong nobles, which already made Sun Quan quite suspicious.

"promise!"

As soon as Sun Quan said this, what a smart person Lu Xun was, he immediately understood the meaning behind the words.

Is it my turn, Lu Boyan, to be the governor?

The siege outside Chengde City is in full swing.

In Runan County, it was a different scene.

Under the veil of night, the Weijun City Walled Ferry, located by the Ru River outside Xinxi City, looks extraordinarily quiet and mysterious.

The moonlight sprinkled around the ferry, reflecting a pale silver scene.

Against the backdrop of the night, the river water in front of the ferry rippled slightly, like a silver ribbon flowing quietly.

On the other side of the river, Wei Jun's stronghold was faintly visible in the night, and the torches on the city wall flickered faintly.

A wooden pier is set up beside the ferry for ships to dock.

In the night when the breeze is blowing, the wood of the pier makes a slight friction sound, like the moaning of insects and frogs.

Several lanterns were dotted on both sides of the ferry, emitting a warm yellow light, illuminating the path of the soldiers of the Wei army who came to patrol.

The bonfires around the ferry were burning, and the raging flames reflected the night sky red.

Soldiers of the Wei army sat around the bonfire, some barbecued meat, some talked, and the camp at night seemed warm and peaceful.

Occasionally, the laughter and conversation of soldiers could be heard, penetrating the silence of the whole night.

On one side of the ferry, a simple barracks city was built to store supplies and provide a place to rest.

Under the dim light of the Ferry Walled City, Master Zhou Ren showed dissatisfaction and anger on his face, his brows were wrinkled, and his eyes were shining with uneasiness and resentment.

His face was pale and slightly tired, and against the disdainful anger, he looked even more ferocious.His lips were pursed tightly, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart, and a feeling of unwillingness was evident in his eyes.

The tattered corners of his clothes fluttered gently with the wind, and some stains and mud marks on the robe seemed to echo his inner dissatisfaction.

His fingers tapped on the table continuously, making dull thumping sounds, as if the anger in his heart was constantly accumulating.

"Well, you Li Ji, how dare you treat me like this!"

The dignified Runan Zhou family's contemporary patriarch, but was arranged by Li Ji to guard the ferry here?

Do that shit!

Is this deliberately humiliating me?

Fortunately, the king has already formed an alliance with Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, otherwise, his life might be lost.

but
This place is by no means a place to stay.

There seemed to be a trace of firm determination between Zhou Ren's brows, and a gleam of determination shone in his eyes.

When the king returns, the prefect of Runan County must belong to me, Zhou Ren!

Tolerate!
I, Zhou Ren, hold back one more breath!

Soldiers tricked.

Today is the fourth day of the deadline for Wei Guo to send grain to Liu Chan.

Tomorrow, food will be delivered to make peace with Liu Chan.

On this day, everyone in Runan County breathed a sigh of relief.

Thousands of cavalry troops of the Han army in Runan finally went back. The gentry in the city did not have to worry about moving their heads in the next second, and the common people finally dared to go to spring plowing.

However.
It is when the enemy is most relaxed.

Liu Chan has sent troops!
The night shrouded the earth, only faint starlight and moonlight barely illuminated the surrounding environment.

Under the silent night, Zhao Zilong led five hundred elite soldiers across the Huai River quietly like ghosts and ghosts.

The Huai River was so cold that it made people tremble, but it couldn't stop them from making meritorious deeds.

The Ferry Walled City stands by the river, so silent that people almost ignore its existence.

However, Zhao Zilong's arrival was like a gust of wind and rain. Unable to cover up their ears, Zhao Yun and others quickly approached the city wall, passing through the curtain of dark night like shadows.

woohoo~
Suddenly, a low-pitched order sounded, and five hundred soldiers rushed into the city wall like arrows released.

The silent night was torn apart in an instant, and the sounds of war drums, shouts, and clashing swords were intertwined.

The five hundred Jingzhou elite soldiers showed an astonishing tacit understanding, like a flash of lightning, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, they broke through the defense line of the city in an instant.

The battle inside and outside the city wall is on the verge of breaking out, with close combat, sword shadows and knives intertwined.

Holding a long spear, Zhao Zilong walked through the city wall like a ghost, beheading the enemy almost instantly.

His figure flickered like a shadow, and the spear turned into a stream of light in his hand, and every swing was accompanied by a piercing sound of piercing wind.With vigorous footwork and agile figure, he shuttled across the battlefield like a beast, and no one could catch his trace.

Every swing of the spear is accompanied by a rain of blood, and the enemy cannot resist his offensive.

His spear skills are like a storm, sweeping in, sweeping away all enemies that stand in his way.

"Ahhh~"

"Forgive me~"

"my leg!"

The enemy's screams and shouts echoed mournfully in the dark night, but they couldn't stop Zhao Zilong's pace.

His gaze was firm, and there was determination between his brows, and an invincible aura permeated his surroundings.

He didn't speak a word, only the shadows of guns staggered, and his killing intent was awe-inspiring.No one was his opponent, and the defenders in the city wall were beheaded by his gun one after another, and they retreated endlessly.

In the dark night, Zhao Zilong is like a god, his long spear is like a sickle of death, harvesting life, blooming amazing light in the dark, making the enemy frightened.

Zhao Zilong and the [-] elite followers quickly defeated the defenders in the city and took control of the situation.

Under their attack, the Ferry Walled City became fragile and crumbling, and the control changed hands quietly in the dark, just like a thunderstorm, coming fast and fierce!
However.
The mere Huaishui Ferry, where is Zhao Yun's goal.

Tonight, he is going to pull down Xinxi City, the prefecture of Runan County!

Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, who dares to compete with me? !
