Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

Zhuge Dan suddenly raised his halberd and gave a stern order:

"Immediately light the beacon fires to send a signal to Prime Minister Xiao!"

As soon as the order was given, the three beacon fires instantly blazed up, their flames shooting into the sky and piercing the night.

Zhuge Dan shouted loudly again:
"All troops, listen to my command! Let us charge into Damgan and carve a bloody path through it!"

The Han soldiers were in high spirits and erupted in deafening cheers.

Followed by.

Zhuge Dan leaped onto the enemy's warhorse and charged down from the city wall.

Behind.

Countless Han soldiers trampled over the corpses of the Parthians and swept into the city of Damgan like tigers.

Damgan City, inside the General's Mansion...

General Kashan was enjoying himself at that moment.

Fine wine in hand, songs playing in the background, and countless dancers swaying their bodies.

He seemed to have no suspicion of the Han army outside the city.

"General Kashan, although the Han army's actions are foolish, we still cannot underestimate Xiao Fang!"

Qiao Zhou couldn't bear to watch any longer and couldn't help but offer his advice again.

Kashan laughed dismissively:

"What's there to be afraid of? The Han army is so stupid anyway, let them fill the lake slowly."

"We should just enjoy life while we can."

Qiao Zhou was speechless upon hearing this.

Left with no other choice, he could only remain silent and let Kashan do as he pleased.

So the songstresses in the hall continued to dance, and Kashan continued to indulge in the wine.

However, at this moment...

Suddenly, deafening shouts of battle erupted outside the mansion.

The ground trembled slightly, and even the wine in the Cashan glass rippled gently.

All of this seemed to be a sign to Kashan that a massive army was surging towards them.

Kashan trembled, a strange look flashing across his face.

Qiao Zhou immediately became alert and stood up abruptly.

Kashan shouted:

"What was that sound? What happened outside?"

The guard hurriedly reported:
"Reporting to the general, it seems the Han army has broken in!"

Upon hearing this, Kashan's expression changed drastically.

He seemed to have heard the most incredible thing in the world.

"impossible!"

"The Han army is still filling in the lake, how could they possibly be attacking!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Kashan, enraged and embarrassed, shouted and cursed.

The bodyguard explained with a pained expression:
"General, the Han army has indeed broken in,"

"Listen, it's in complete chaos outside."

"If we don't fight back, the Han army will storm our general's mansion."

These words struck Kashan like a bolt from the blue.

Kashan stopped enjoying the music and dance, jumped up, grabbed his sword, and headed straight for the gate of the mansion.

Qiao Zhou panicked and followed Kashang straight to the gate of the mansion.

At this moment, the mansion was in complete chaos.

Upon learning that the Han army had entered the city, these originally Parthian people scattered like frightened birds.

Seeing this, Kashan frowned, brandished his long sword, and shouted:

"The Han army can't possibly break in! Everyone calm down!"

"If you keep running around like this, I'll kill you!"

Under his reprimand, the Parthian soldiers barely managed to calm down.

Kashan rallied his troops and, without a moment's delay, immediately mounted his horse and headed straight for the gate of the mansion.

After rushing out of the mansion gate.

He glanced around and couldn't help but gasp.

On the street, countless Parthian soldiers, like ants, were scattering and fleeing in this direction.

Behind them, the Han army, like tigers and wolves, drove them away.

The Han army had indeed stormed into Damgan.

"What's happening here?"

"How did the Han army enter the city? Did they grow wings and fly in?"

Kashan's expression changed drastically, and his alarmed gaze suddenly turned to Qiao Zhou.

Qiao Zhou's mind raced. In an instant, a chill ran down his spine.

He suddenly realized the mystery.

"General, this must be another of Xiao Fang's treacherous schemes!"

Qiao Zhou stamped his feet, beat his chest, and cried out in despair.

"A treacherous plot?"

"What treacherous scheme?"

Kashan looked completely bewildered, utterly perplexed.

"General, please take a look."

"The Han army attacked from the west, which means they breached the city from the west."

"It seems that the Han army's feigned filling of the lake in the east was just a smokescreen."

"Their real intention was to cover the Han army in the west, allowing them to approach the western city on bamboo rafts and thus break through the defenses!"

Qiao Zhou shouted at the top of his lungs.

Upon hearing this, Kashan trembled and suddenly awoke as if from a dream.

He finally realized how unfathomable Xiao Fang's wisdom and strategy were.

This Eastern Prime Minister's scheme was far too insidious and ruthless.

original.

Xiao Fang did this to mislead him and lure him into transferring all his troops to the East City.

Xiao Fang's true objective, however, was to launch a surprise attack from the west city!

"Damn it, that Xiao Fang is just too cunning!"

"You even lied to me, damn it!"

Kashan beat his chest and stamped his feet, secretly lamenting his misfortune.

At this time.

To the west, shouts of battle shook the heavens and the screams of agony were deafening.

A Han general, wielding a long halberd, was seen ruthlessly reaping the lives of his soldiers.

That Han general was none other than Zhuge Dan.

Qiao Zhou recognized Zhuge Dan at a glance and screamed in terror:
"General, that Han general is extremely brave; we are no match for him. We should abandon the city immediately!"

Kashan felt a sudden tightness in his chest, as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer.

How could he not want to abandon the city and flee?
Unfortunately, reality did not allow him to do so.

Because Damgan is surrounded by water on all sides, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Han army was unable to cross the lake to attack.

But now, if he wants to abandon the city and escape, he must cross the lake.

however.

To demonstrate his determination to fight to the death, he ordered all boats and rafts to be sunk to the bottom of the lake after entering the city.

Now they want to break out, but they have no boats available, so where can they escape to?

"How do we break out? We don't have any boats!"

"At that time, in order to cut off the soldiers' retreat, I burned all the ships!"

Kashan cried out in despair.

Qiao Zhou's expression changed, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Sigh, I warned you long ago not to be so overconfident."

"We can't burn our boats, we can't destroy our empires! Why won't you listen?"

"What should we do in this situation?!"

Qiao Zhou complained helplessly.

Kashan gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes:
"There's no other way now!"

"The only way to survive is to defeat the Han army!"

Say it.

Kashan raised his long sword and shouted:
"Parthian warriors! We have no way out!"

"If you want to live, fight to the death with me and slaughter all the Han people!"

Kashan spurred his horse, sword in hand, and charged ahead of the Han army.

The Parthian soldiers on either side were also inspired by his courage.

They swept towards the Han army with frenzied energy, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

The fierce battle has officially begun.

Kashan took the lead and charged into the Han army's ranks like a tiger descending a mountain.

He wielded his longsword like a raging storm.

Wherever they went, Han soldiers fell to the ground, and were slaughtered in droves.

Inspired by Kashan, the Parthian soldiers behind him roared deafeningly.

They mustered their courage and charged desperately towards the Han army. (End of Chapter)
