Let's talk about the entrance of Qutang Gorge. Under the three-stage shooting of Gong Jie's divine arm archers on the top of the mountain, Ling Tong also quickly asked the Iron Masked Ghosts to disperse to avoid being concentrated. He realized that the target of Luo Xian's encirclement was simply not there. Instead of rushing out of the gorge, after the Zhiyuan, in order to ensure that he could command the warship from a safe position, he immediately ordered the sergeant to abandon the Zhiyuan and jump onto a Iron Masked Ghost.
Seeing that Ling Tong had abandoned the Zhiyuan, Luo Xian immediately ordered: "Throw it away!"
In an instant, the civilians on both sides of the Dingyuan and Huanghe ships threw several iron chains, one side hooked the sides of the Zhiyuan, and the other side hooked the mountain passes on both sides. In an instant, the three ships, accompanied by the iron ropes, pulled the Qutang The mouth of the gorge is cut across, and it looks like a scene of three ships locking the river.
"Ling Tong! Tell your governor that he has fallen into the trap of my general. Let him take these 100,000 Wu troops and become a delicious meal for the fish and shrimps in this river!" Luo Xian shouted loudly after seeing the locking of the river completed.
Ling Tong was not used to this Luo Xian, and immediately asked the Iron Masked Ghost to face him with a sideways trebuchet. However, because the hull and the trebuchet were small, once the stone was thrown, it would be within the range of the divine arm archer on the top of the mountain. The so-called climbing And the cry is not urgent, but it is obvious to those who hear it, let alone the arrows shot by the archers with divine arms...
"General! Why don't you try the fire attack strategy used by Governor Zhou back then!"
"Fart! It's all Dongfeng now. Don't you think I am defeated quickly enough?" Ling Tong was very angry at this brainless suggestion. This Luo Xian is just Suo Jiang. If you don't hit him, he will naturally I won't come to beat you either.
Ling Tong quickly called a sergeant to take a faster boat and went to the army camp to inform Quan Cong that if he did not rush out of the gorge at this moment, he was afraid that all the Wu army, which was said to be one hundred thousand, would be trapped and die under Yong'an City.
At this time, Quan Cong from the Wu Army Camp was still holding several dancers in his arms and was singing wildly in the military camp. His close friend Bu Xie was even drunker.
"Commander! As long as... we want to... break this Yong'an... let alone Lu Xun... even Zhou Gongjin back then... may not be as good as a general. Gong?" Bu Xie stepped forward with almost uncoordinated gait and showed off to Quan Cong.
After all, Quan Cong was born in the military. He was still only a little drunk, but he couldn't hold back his complacency. He said: "That Li Xian is just a person with a false reputation. He was deceived by Liu Chan's stupid thing. However, his poems We do have some skills, aren't we just trying to win fame in life and in life? Hahaha!" After just saying this, all the generals laughed, as if it was only a matter of time before Yong'an City was destroyed.
Bu Xie was still drunk and continued to say: "Hey, general, if this Shu Han is really destroyed, you will be Han Xin of Wu State, Zhou Yafu of Wu State, Wu State..." Before he could finish speaking, a head shot He leaned on the desk and started snoring.
"Hahahaha!" There was another burst of laughter in the military camp. Quan Cong also threw the orange in his hand at Bu Xie's head, but still could not wake up Bu Xie who was sleeping soundly.
"Report! General Chiang has had a bad start and has retreated!"
"Report! General Lingtong reports urgently! The entrance to Qutang Gorge is blocked by the Shu army, and our army has no way to retreat eastward!"
Quan Cong was shocked when he heard this. He sobered up in an instant. He looked at the beauties in his arms and kicked them away. He was so frightened that these women turned pale and quickly stepped back, for fear of offending these ladies. Quan Cong was chopped with a knife.
Quan Cong looked at Bu Xie who had passed out from drinking, spat, slapped Bu Xie on the back of his head, and cursed angrily: "The rotten scholar is causing trouble!" Unexpectedly, Bu Xie was still snoring like thunder, which was a surprise to Quan Cong. Cong was so angry that he immediately went out of the camp to check, regardless of whether he was awake or not. However, he saw these so-called elite and courageous soldiers of the Wu State running back looking embarrassed and disgraced, with no morale at all. He immediately became furious and immediately stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Yi by the collar and said angrily: "What have you done? How many soldiers and horses have we lost?"
Jiang Yi was already very angry, and he never expected that he would encounter such a difficult opponent at this first stop.
But he saw a soldier in the front row of Jiang Yi, as if he was losing his mind and going crazy, muttering: "It's the militia, it's the militia, we were defeated by the militia...and...and the iron... .Iron Float Picture…”
Quan Cong was confused and asked Jiang Yi sharply: "What militia? What iron pagoda?"
Jiang Yizheng was about to speak, but he heard the crazy sergeant suddenly burst into laughter and walked straight into the river with his armor on, muttering: "Go home...go home..." There was no one around to stop them. After a while, the sound had disappeared on the river, and countless cries could be heard from the formation of the Kokang soldiers.
"Jiang Yi, you failed in the first battle and ruined the morale of our army! What crime should you be guilty of!" Quan Cong was really angry at this moment. He never expected that the courageous soldiers who were rampaging in Jiangdong would be killed by these humble five soldiers under Yong'an City. The Hundred Cavalrymen were so beaten that everyone wanted to go home to find their mother, and some even threw themselves into the river to seek relief.
"It's not a pity that Jiang Yi died! But if we can't avenge Jiangdong's athletes who died under the iron heel today, Jiang Yi will still be dead even though he is alive! Please allow me to make meritorious service for my crime, and I will definitely ascend to Yong'an first!" Jiang Yi gritted his steel teeth. Broken, he said angrily.
"Okay! Today, the Governor of Japan will allow you to perform meritorious service for your crime!" Quan Cong looked at Jiang Yi who was angry and resentful. He felt that Jiang Yi was not bad at all, and then ordered: "Pan Zhang! You are known in Jiangdong as the successor to General Taishi. As the first person to fight, you will lead your troops to assist Jiang Yi and attack Yong'an together!"
"The general will get the order!"
Jiang Yi once again took the order and led the frightened Jiangdong decisive soldiers and more than 10,000 soldiers from Pan Zhang's headquarters to the same place, and launched another attack on Yong'an City...
Under Yiling City.
Li Xian was sitting in the mansion of Yiling County Governor. Chen Dao stepped forward, presented the wooden box and said: "Captain, this is the head of Yiling Governor Xie Jing!"
Then Fu Qian stepped forward and presented the wooden box again and said: "Captain, this is the head of Li Yi, the prefect of Zigui!"
Li Xian's expression remained as usual, but he never showed any signs of trouble. He said slowly after a while: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"Report! General Zong Yu, the captain of the Qilin, has captured Yidu. Sun Huan could not stand it and pounded the city with artillery and stones all night. He led his troops over the mountains and overcame dangers, and set up a stronghold on Shimen Mountain to wait for reinforcements."
Li Xian said calmly: "It's just a turtle in an urn. Tell General Zong Yu that after the army enters the city, they are not allowed to harass the people and are not allowed to accept gifts from the people. If there is any offender, he will be beheaded immediately! Let him rest for a while. Tomorrow morning, we will immediately leave the port outside the city. Set off for the Qutang Gorge battlefield and bring Wu Jun’s band with you.”
"yes!"
The autumn day in the south of the Yangtze River is really hot and hot, and it seems that the river breeze can't be felt at all. Li Xianyu left the governor's house and came to the top of the city. He loosened his collar and tried to let the little coolness blow into the armor. inside of.
"Han Xing, when the Japanese general came to the city, he asked a soldier to pretend to be the messenger of the Wu army, informing Yidu for help, and lured Xie Jing to lead his troops out of the city. My handsome Bai'er soldiers ambushed him halfway, and then used the same tactics as the general. We managed to open the gate of Yiling City, and then..." Chen Dao, who had nothing to say, saw Li Xian's gesture of stopping and immediately stopped talking.
"Uncle Master, did Han Xing do the right thing?" Li Xian asked somewhat abruptly.
"Why do the governors think this?" Chen Dao was a little confused, but he turned to look at the Yiling City, which was suffering from the chaos of war. There were only sparse people in the market, and there were more soldiers on patrol.
Li Xian shook his head and said: "It's not that I thought this, but what I saw really touched me. Now Quan Cong is surrounded from all sides, but he has no idea that once it collapses, the casualties will be no less than that of Yiling. By then, will this so-called land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River really have the same scene as before?"
Hearing this, Chen Dao cupped his hands and said: "General, I don't agree with what the Governor said. Didn't the mountain of corpses and sea of blood outside Yiling City be seen by the Governor with his own eyes? Could it be that the hatred between the late emperor and the two generals Guan and Zhang could be solved like this? Reveal it? Has the governor forgotten the prime minister’s ambition to restore the Central Plains before the expedition? "
Li Xian was silent for a while after hearing this. Even though he knew that if the entire Wu army, which was said to be one hundred thousand but actually only had seventy thousand, was surrounded and annihilated in the Qutang Gorge and Yong'an City, it would only further deepen the hatred that could not be resolved in the first place. Adding a new layer of injury, and finally bearing these pains, the most direct people are the people at the lowest level. Thinking of this, they don’t want to speak, they just stay silent.
"Han Xing, you must not think like this. On that day, Dongwu crossed the river in white clothes and failed to attack Hefei. Instead, they secretly harmed their allies. They were just roosters and dog thieves. It's time to take revenge!" Chen Dao said again with his hands in hand.
Finally, Li Xian couldn't hold it anymore and asked sternly: "What's the matter with these common people under Guan City? What did they do wrong?! Were they the ones who attacked Jingzhou?! Or were they the ones who set fire to Yiling? They just want to survive. , are they wrong?!"
Chen Dao choked on his neck at Li Xian's sudden words. The unpleasant feeling was not something ordinary people could feel.
"Han...Hanxing...you..." Chen Dao still wanted to speak, but he really couldn't find the words to say.
But then he saw that Li Xian's expression was still calm, and he just said: "Uncle Shi, Fu Qian, and Zong Yu have accomplished extraordinary feats in this battle. If our army can gather and annihilate the Wu army in Qutang Gorge, we will be rewarded with the title of marquis."
"Uncle, let's go. I'm just expressing my feelings. Please don't worry about me." Li Xian pretended to apologize, but was supported by Chen Dao, who looked at Chen Dao with tears in his eyes.
"Han Xing! Do you know why I followed the late emperor?"
Li Xian shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Because only the late emperor has said that the country has been people-oriented since ancient times, I always want to adhere to the late emperor's ambition to restore the Han Dynasty." Chen Daoyan said.
Li Xian asked: "What does that have to do with this?"
"Did you know that when our army was defeated in Dangyang, why did the people of Xinye follow the old and the young and never leave? Do you really think it was the military advisor who burned down their houses? They voluntarily followed the late emperor to the south of the Yangtze River, because the late emperor was in Xinye Only then did they see what political leadership and people were, and what the prosperity of the Han Dynasty was in the past. What the late emperor wanted to restore was not only the name of the Han Dynasty, but also the prosperity of our powerful Han Dynasty. Therefore, we are willing to fight to the death for the late emperor. , even if the late emperor is the faint light in this endless night, it is the guiding light for me, Chen Dao, and it is also the guiding light for thousands of people who are struggling to survive in this troubled world! The scene in front of me It’s just temporary, as long as we revitalize the Han Dynasty, this scene of displacement will no longer exist.”
When Li Xian heard this, he was stunned. What Chen Dao said was really inspiring. In this long feudal system, such people-oriented remarks were like the earth shaking, but he could regard him as his lifelong belief. , even if you fail countless times and get up countless times, you still don’t hesitate, which is really touching.
Li Xian took a breath, looked at Chen Dao with tears in his eyes, and nodded: "Uncle, don't worry! Hanxing will give the general a clear answer today."
Chen Dao was also stunned, wondering what Li Xian was going to do.
But he saw Li Xian, slowly walking to the top of Yiling City, pointing to the southeast with his finger: "Uncle Master, didn't Lu Xun promise Sun Quan in the past that with him, Yiling would never be destroyed? Today I, Li Xian then responded with the same words to this Jiangdong Biyan! With this general here, Yiling cannot be shaken by Sun Quan and Lu Xun with their entire country's power!"
Chen Dao quickly said: "If Lu Xun comes to kill..."
"Then let him come! Tell him that I have been waiting for him for ten years! Right here in this city!" Li Xian's armor glowed with golden light under the autumn sun, and the fallen leaves outside Yiling City also As the autumn wind suddenly rises, it gradually begins to fall...
