The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 430 Bewitching the Army
On the day Liu Chan set off from Xiangyang City, after Sun Quan's army prepared for a day, and because Guan Yu's reinforcements from the south were far away from Jiangling City, they finally decided to launch a large-scale attack on Jiangling City again.

In the morning of that day, the armies led by their respective generals appeared one after another, and soon they lined up in front of Jiangling City.

Previously, Sun Quan had already assigned the task. Dong Xi’s 5000-man army attacked the North Gate, including a Soochow Death Army of nearly 800 men; Pan Zhang led another 5000 men to attack the East Gate; Ximen; Zhou Tai led the most elite army of 5000 men to storm the South Gate, including a super powerful army equipped from Zhou Yu's era to the present Lujiang Shangjia Army; Sun Quan and Lu Meng also led an army of 8000 men Center command.

At the same time, for the sake of safety, Lu Meng suggested that Sun Quan send Jiang Qin's army to guard the periphery of the battlefield, so as to prevent Shi Guangyuan's army from attacking suddenly and catching them by surprise.Sun Quan felt that Lu Meng's idea was not unreasonable, so Jiang Qin did not participate in the siege battle this time.

So Sun Quan's army of more than 4 people has dispatched at least nearly [-] people.Looking down from the tall and strong city head of Jiangling City, apart from the slightly dazzling brilliance of Chaoyang, the most eye-catching thing is the army of the Eastern Wu that surrounded Jiangling City tightly.

At this time, Yu Jin was wearing a black armor, and the sun shone on it, showing a dark light.With a pair of strong hands, he tightly held the hilt of the sword at his waist, looking extremely mighty.The enemy below
Jiangling City had been besieged by the Eastern Wu army for some time, and Guan Yu's reinforcements had not arrived, which made him feel a little anxious.

In fact, if the eldest son Liu Chan hadn't had the foresight to build Jiangling City into an iron wall, and prepared a lot of food and grass for it, and finally sent him, a general of hundreds of battles, here to preside over the defense, Jiangling City is afraid It has changed hands many times.

Yu Jin frowned slightly, watching the Jiangdong soldiers waiting outside the city in silence.In fact, Yu Jin has fought countless battles in his life, and this is definitely not the first time he has faced such a situation.So there was no trace of nervousness on his face.

What's more, Yu Jin's surrender to the eldest son Liu Chan, on the other hand, pushed himself to the opposite of Cao Wei and Jiangdong.Once Jiangling City is broken, the best result for him is to die in battle.And the worst result is that he was sent back to Cao Wei for punishment, which is absolutely unbearable situation.

For the current Yu Jin, he has the obligation to serve Liu Chan, and he has a selfish desire to protect himself.Therefore, Jiangling City is absolutely not allowed to be captured by Soochow.

Standing behind Yu Jin, Liu He, the Yamen general, is also fully armored at this time.He has a square face and looks very serious.Like Yu Jin, he also watched the movements of Jiangdong Army under the city without saying a word.

Then, Yu Jin asked indifferently: "Liu He, Pan Zhizhong and General Mi Fang are all ready?"

Seeing Yu Jin's question, Liu He hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Back to General Yu, they have all gone to the city to supervise the battle. But General Yu, there are only [-] people in our Jiangling City. After many battles before, the remaining There are only seven or eight thousand people. Now, Jiangdong is attacking with several times the number of people, isn't the situation we are facing this time too critical?"

Yu Jin sighed, and comforted him: "This is indeed a problem! However, the situation in the city is stable now, and if our army has 8000 soldiers capable of fighting, it is actually enough. If there is a real shortage of soldiers , when the time comes, we will only be able to recruit people locally within the city.”

As Yu Jin said, he turned around and glanced at Liu He, his eyes seemed rather firm, which also strengthened Liu He's originally shaky resolve.

In fact, these days, Liu He has been following Yu Jin's side all the time, and he has also seen that the famous General Yu Jin's way of using troops is indeed extraordinary.Therefore, Liu He has always been very confident about Jin.

At this moment, a passage suddenly opened up in the enemy formation, and dozens of cavalry knights rushed out from it, all of them in distinctive armor.Today was a fine day, so even though the opponent was still far away, Yu Jin could tell at a glance that the leader of the opponent was wearing the armor of a general.

Yu Jin couldn't help feeling a little hesitant. Now that the battle between the two sides is about to break out, what is the purpose of a general rushing over from the opposing team?
When the opponent's cavalry team got closer, Yu Jin couldn't help but let out a soft ah.He recognized that the leading general just now was Zhou Tai, a powerful Jiangdong general!
As far as Yu Jin knew, Zhou Tai was the enemy general who besieged the south gate on his side today.Zhou Tai's appearance made Yu Jin feel even more puzzled.

Soon, Zhou Tai came to the Jiangling city, and stopped near the archery team's shooting range.The bright sunlight slanted on his face covered with two scars, still looking extremely terrifying.Coupled with his tall and muscular figure, he is really full of aggressiveness.

The bow and arrow team at the head of the city has already drawn the bow and stringed it.Seeing that Zhou Tai seemed to have something to say, Yu Jin asked the archery team to put down all the bows and arrows.

Sure enough, Zhou Tai bowed his hands to Yu Jin who was on the wall, and said loudly: "General Yu Jin, how are you doing recently?"

Although Yu Jin and Zhou Tai were not familiar with each other, they had met several times on the Cao Wei battlefield, or the Jiangling City battlefield here, so the two must have known each other long ago.

Yu Jin knew that Zhou Tai was talking nonsense, not really saying hello to him.He said disapprovingly: "This general has always been very good. General Zhou, if you have something to say, please speak up, otherwise the bows and arrows in my city don't have eyes."

On Zhou Tai's extremely ugly face, there was a terrifying sneer, he really looked like a monster.Zhou Tai said loudly: "General Yu, I think you should surrender to our army as soon as possible? At that time, this general can ask my lord for mercy, and maybe he can spare your life for a day."

Yu Jin was taken aback when he heard this, wondering if this Zhou Tai was a fool, he wouldn't come here on purpose to say such nonsense at such a moment, would he?
Yu Jin immediately said angrily: "Zhou Tai, if you talk nonsense like this again, my bow and arrow will show no mercy!"

As he spoke, his right hand was really raised, and the bows and arrows of the bow and arrow team at the top of the city were raised again to aim at Zhou Tai at the bottom of the city.As long as Yu Jin's hand is waved downward, the arrows all over the sky will definitely fall towards Zhou Tai like a torrential rain.

Zhou Tai didn't seem to be afraid at all, and said: "In this case, then General Yu, do you know this thing?"

Zhou Tai turned sideways and took a head of hair from a knight behind him, and raised it high towards the top of the city.In order to preserve it for a long time, the head has been preserved with lime powder, and the skin on it is covered with a layer of white powder. The eyes are closed, and only the long beard on the lower jaw is gently swinging in the breeze.

This kid, not only Yu Jin, but also many soldiers at the top of the city, all exclaimed.Because they have seen that the head in Zhou Tai's hand looks too much like Guan Yu's!

Zhou Tai laughed and shouted loudly: "General Yu, as you can see now, Guan Yu has been beheaded by our army, and your reinforcements have been cut off. How can Jiangling City survive? You should hurry up and think about it." Come out, otherwise, when our army comes out, we will crush you to pieces!"

Yu Jin's mind went blank for a moment.Is the head at the bottom really that Guan Yu, who once killed his [-] army without any armor left, and was so majestic?
If it was really Guan Yu, and he had encountered such an ending, what about himself, the defeated general?
Yu Jin suddenly felt his body weaken for a while, and he almost fell to the ground.Liu He behind Yu Jin was also in a daze at first, but he reacted quickly, and immediately stepped forward to hold Yu Jin's arm, and said, "General Yu, take care."

Yu Jin broke free from Liu He's support, both of them grabbed onto the wall, and stared down the city blankly.

Zhou Tai saw that Yu Jin just looked towards him, as if he was thinking.He guessed in his heart, is Yu Jin thinking about whether to sacrifice the city now?Because in his opinion, since Yu Jin was able to surrender to Liu Bei, he must not be a steadfast man, so it is actually reasonable to choose to surrender again now.

What Zhou Tai thought was definitely the opposite of what Liu Chan thought when he was ordered to go south to Jiangling City.People are really strange animals, and they always think from so many angles.

Therefore, Zhou Tai continued to persuade Yu Jin to surrender with his unsophisticated eloquence.

But Yu Jin was like a mute at this moment, he just remained in a daze, and didn't say a word in reply to Zhou Tai's advice.

After a long while, Yu Jin's eyes flashed brightly, and his face suddenly showed a gleam of joy. He pointed at Zhou Tai under the city and shouted loudly: "Attention everyone, the head of Guan Junhou in Zhou Tai's hand is fake. A plan to make our army surrender voluntarily!"

As soon as Yu Jin said this, there was another uproar among the Jingzhou army at the top of the city.Then, somewhat unexpectedly, most of the soldiers actually believed his words by mistake.After all, Guan Yu's supernatural power is insurmountable in the minds of the soldiers. How could such a person be awarded the head by the Jiangdong Army?

As a result, none of the soldiers at the top of the city wanted to listen to Zhou Tai's yelling at the bottom of the city.Out of righteous indignation, some archers started shooting at Zhou Tai without even getting Yu Jin's order to release arrows.

In fact, Yu Jin had a lot of contact with Guan Yu, and now it is almost certain that the head in Zhou Tai's hand should belong to Guan Yu.But he knew that even though Guan Yu was dead, the Jingzhou Army still had the eldest son Liu Chan, and they still had hope.Otherwise, it will be death in battle at most.

However, Guan Yu's life and death had a great impact on the morale of the army in the city.He Yu Jin is not like the eldest son Liu Chan. It should be said that his life experience is absolutely rich, and his style of handling things is of course different from Liu Chan.

Therefore, Yu Jin, like the government of the Celestial Dynasty, quickly adopted the measures of "rumors and anti-rumors".That is to say, the enemy is spreading rumors, and the government immediately counters the rumors, saying that the other party is hyping up and slandering...

As a result, neither side could produce any evidence in the end, and the matter miraculously and silently subsided in the end.This method is simply tried and tested.

Zhou Tai originally thought that as soon as he took out Guan Yu's head, the morale of the Jingzhou army in the city would immediately collapse, but he did not expect such a result.

A trace of anger finally appeared on Zhou Tai's face.
