Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 229 Winter, Huang Zhong crosses the river in white clothes

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, a heavy snow covered the north and south of the Yangtze River.

If you look down from the air, there is no other variegated color on the entire snow field.

On the other side of the river, every [-] miles, there is a beacon tower. The beacon tower is several feet high, and there are seven or eight soldiers. They are sitting around the stove with thatched sheds, warming up by the fire.

"Now that Chaisang is lost, our army is on the other side of the river, and there is also the Shu army in Xunyang. However, more than 800 beacon towers have been built in the north and south of the river, and five or six thousand soldiers are stationed here all the year round. When will this be a good day?" Head oh."

"I heard that the governor has returned. Will he be able to regain the four counties in Jingnan this time?"

"It's hard, I heard that Cao Cao in the north joined forces with us, and the navy didn't enter the Yangtze River."

"Didn't enter the Yangtze River, did you go to Kuaiji?"

"Let [-] Cao soldiers go to Kuaiji, no way, if the navy general under Cao Cao's command turns against him, wouldn't it be dangerous for me in the hinterland of Wuzhong?"

"Who knows, I'm just a pawn guarding the beacon tower, how can I control so much?"

A few people were chatting, and every once in a while someone poked his head out to take a look, but the entire river surface was covered by ice, and it was a vast expanse of whiteness. Where could there be anything?
It's just... the snow on the shore seems to be thicker.

By midnight, several sergeants on the beacon tower had fallen into a deep sleep, and only one was left to watch the night wearily.

"whoosh"

An arrow pierced through the air and shot him down 150 steps away.

Huang Zhong put away his longbow and stared ahead.

"Snapped"

The moment this Wu soldier fell to the ground, in the snow, two sergeants in white robes suddenly stood up and took him down in two steps.
"Shhhhh..."

Suddenly, seven or eight iron hooks were thrown onto the sentry tower, and soon, a dozen Shu soldiers climbed up.

"chichichi"

The seven Wu soldiers who hadn't woken up from their dreams were easily wiped on their necks.

In the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, more than a hundred beacon towers are showing this situation.

"Report...report to the general, our army has captured more than one hundred beacon towers on the banks of the fifty li river." When the sky was getting dark, someone came to report to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong was overjoyed, "Here's an order to make a bamboo raft out of reeds and wood, and drive along the waterway of Chaohu Lake to Juchao."

"Here."

Wait until Huang Zhong led his soldiers along the Chaohu waterway and arrived at Juchao City.

Before he had time to react, the defender of the nest was directly slashed to death by Huang Zhong on the top of the wall.

"General, according to the lord's secret order, should we kill Benshu County directly?" Deputy General Deng Fang asked aloud.

"No, Deng Fang, you led the army to stand here for three days. This general led the army back to help, and flanked Yunchang from east to west to break through Wan County."

"Here."

After finishing speaking, before noon, Huang Zhong led an army of [-] under his command to set off in a mighty manner, heading towards Wan County.

On the way, he happened to meet Wu Jun's scouts who asked for help from Juchao, and killed two more groups.

"It seems that Yunchang is already storming Wan County, it's really on time." When Wan County could be vaguely seen, Huang Zhong heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing at the west gate.

"Jiangxia's army and our army both have [-] troops. Lu Fan, the general of Wan County, has [-] troops under his command. It's a pity that Yun Chang is brave. Seeing him with the word "Guan" on his face, I'm afraid Wu Jun will be scared." Embarrassed."

"The order is to carry the ladder, and this general will personally command five thousand crossbowmen to suppress the soldiers at the top of the city. If within three drums, if they can't attack the east gate, all the attacking soldiers will be killed." Huang Zhong raised his knife and pointed at the top of the city. to drink.

"Here."

"Whoo~"

A thin puff of wolf smoke was ignited on the slope of the mountain road behind Huang Zhong's army. For a while, it floated for more than ten miles, and even the west city gate could clearly see it.

Under the big banner with the word "Guan" on that side, Guan Yu laughed out loud.

"Haha, Huang Hansheng and the others succeeded, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang."

"The end will be here." The two immediately responded.

"Order you two to attack the city with [-] soldiers each. We will definitely attack the city before Huang Zhong."

"Here."

Guan Ping secretly groaned, Dad, you are competing with Huang Zhong, why do you bother us.

The defenders at the top of the city are all elite soldiers from Danyang, they were trained by Sun Quan's uncle Wu Jing, and they are guarded by generals like Lu Fan who are capable of conscripting and fighting, so it is not so easy to break through.

"Soldiers, follow me to kill!~"

It has to be said that Guan Ping was still brave when he rushed to the battle. When he reached the crenel of the city wall, he heard an urgent cry from the top of the city wall.

"Report...report to the general, the east city gate is lost, Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong, the old man led the army into the city."

"What?" Lu Fan's expression changed drastically.

"Xunyang is the gate of Jiangxia. Without Xunyang, it is reasonable for Guan Yu to come in, but why is Huang Zhong able to go around the east gate? Are all the soldiers on the beacon towers along the river blind?" Lu Lu Fan suddenly became angry.

"General, the top priority is to fight or withdraw."

"What are you still fighting for?" Lu Fan pointed at the city, "Guan Yu is outside the west gate, and Huang Zhong is rushing in from the east gate. Even if I, Lu Fan, are brave, I can't beat the siege of the five generals."

"Let's withdraw. Since the battle of Jingnan, Jiangdong has fewer soldiers and can't afford to lose it. It is also very good to save some energy for the next battle. Even if the lord pursues the crime of losing the city, those soldiers guarding the beacon tower , should be beheaded."

"Here."

As soon as Lu Fan's thousands of elite troops withdrew, Guan Ping entered the city.

When he opened the city gate in disgrace and prepared to plead guilty to Guan Yu, he found that Guan Yu was already greeting Huang Zhong on a red rabbit horse.

"Han Sheng, are you going to attack Shu County next?"

"My lord has already ordered Zheng Chenggong's Jingxiang navy to carry the main force to start interspersing. The lower reaches of the Yangtze River, I am going to go north to collect the counties of Lujiang. Yunchang and Shu County are the prefectures of Lujiang. How about leaving it to you?"

Guan Yu stroked his beard with one hand, "Okay, let's see if I take Shu County first, or you take the counties north of Lujiang River first."

Huang Zhong laughed loudly, "In the past, I lost to you in the city of Changsha, but this time, the old man entered the city first."

Guan Yu immediately glanced back at Guan Ping, and the silly boy from the landlord's family lowered his head in fright, trembling a little.

"Okay, Yun Chang, soldiers are precious and fast, I'm going first."

As soon as Huang Zhong pulled the reins, he headed towards the north to kill.

Under the rule of the Shu army, it was always the generals who attacked the city and ruled the city, and handed it over to the officials sent by the Shu Palace in Jiangling.

In the past, there were not many officials, so they had to post a list to recruit talents, but after Liu Feng built the academy, those who had some talents, from the county school to the county school and then to the state school, basically could go to a county to hold important positions.

Those who have not yet graduated are all entering Jingxiang Academy for training. These people are the real ministers trained by Liu Feng to govern the state and county in the future.
