Under Changsha City.
"Lao San, have you ever eaten oranges?" The soldier, who was close to the city wall and covered with gunpowder packets, stood on the left side of Liu Laosan and asked with a smile.
Liu Laosan smiled and nodded, then added: "I have eaten it before, and I also heard that there is an Orange Island in Changsha City. Orange trees are planted in each island. It is very fragrant and sweet."
"It's a pity that we can only try it in the next life."
"It doesn't matter. When the governor regains Jingnan, our children will be able to eat delicious oranges."
The two of them were talking to each other, while the other Fu Qian had already pulled out the long lead from them, but he no longer dared to look under the east city wall, and just involuntarily pounded the ground with his hands. .
Liu Laosan said: "Little general, don't cry. This is your hometown, and our souls have returned to our hometown. You are going to become a general, so you can't shed tears easily."
Fu Qian bit his lip stubbornly, trying not to let his tears fall. Liu Laosan suddenly stopped smiling and shouted to the soldiers beside Fu Qian: "Brother, please! Light the fire!"
The soldier turned and glanced at Fu Qian. Fu Qian immediately turned his head away, but his ordering hand was raised in the air for a long time and refused to fall down.
"Little General, give the order!" Liu Laosan said, "Brothers are ready."
The soldiers who tied the gunpowder bags were already clinging to the city wall, but they all said in unison: "Young general, give the order! We will be brothers in the next life!"
"Yes! We will be brothers in the next life!"
Fu Qian could only wave his hand down hard, turned his head and cried, murmuring: "We will be brothers in the next life!"
"What a great little general! You must become a great general!" Liu Laosan said resolutely, turned around and clung to the east wall of Changsha City.
"I promise you, I will become a general!" As the fuse continued to burn, Fu Qian gritted his teeth again and said firmly.
The sizzling sound of the fire snake became quieter as it was getting closer to detonating. Suddenly Liu Laosan and all the soldiers shouted in unison: "For the big man!"
"boom!"
For a moment, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and it felt like the sky was falling and the earth was falling.
Changsha County Sheriff's Office.
"What's going on? Is there an earthquake?" Lu Xun, who was sleeping, was instantly awakened by the loud noise, followed by the fearful neighing of countless horses in the stable. Lu Xun immediately stood up and asked the guards on his left and right.
"Could it be that Li Xian who came to attack?" With his closest guess, Lu Xun immediately walked to the map and just murmured: "It doesn't make sense! This Li Xian just fought in Yiyang and his troops were damaged, so how could he have the power to break the city? Wouldn't it be a waste of military rations to come here this time? And once his food route is cut off from Wuling, wouldn't he be starved to death under Changsha City?"
"Report! Governor, what's wrong, the eastern city wall, I don't know where the Shu army got the thunder from, the city wall collapsed... collapsed..."
"What?!" Lu Xun was surprised for a moment, then thought again: "What kind of thunder, do you honestly know?"
"It was the Shu army who tied the sky thunder to themselves and started detonating them against the city wall. A big hole collapsed in the east wall. Now Li Xian has led his army to fight into the city!"
Lu Xun was surprised for a moment. He was not surprised that Li Xian came to attack tonight, but he was surprised that Li Xian had such a weapon to break the city. Until now, he still felt that Li Xian could only rely on giant ships to break the city. It was true. It was a miscalculation, but he was also shocked and immediately asked: "Where is Ling Tong? He still has tens of thousands of naval troops in the Xiangjiang River. Go and ask him to come for support!"
"yes!"
"Immediately order Ding Feng to block the gap in the city wall! No, it will be too late to block the gap. That's all. Order Ding Feng to withdraw from the Yanbei Gate and retreat to Wuling County. Remember to preserve all living forces and never fight in this city! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Lu Xun immediately ordered.
"yes!"
Lu Xun arranged the evacuation in an orderly manner. Even in such an emergency, there was no panic at all, as if there had never been a war. He was really handsome.
Outside Changsha City, watching Xu Zhi leading the swarming cavalry brigade, Fu Qian finally couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart. Instead, he kept waving the copper mace in his hand and smashing it into the air in front, carrying more than a dozen cavalrymen with him. In the characteristic crying tone of a 19-year-old child, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "For the big man! For the big man!"
These cavalry rushed straight in along the gap in the east wall of Changsha, constantly chasing the Wu soldiers who were retreating to the northern city gate, but they were always blocked by the shield formation and could not cause effective damage.
On the other hand, only Xu Zhi's ax was chopping very smoothly, but he also heard a general beating his horse and said loudly: "Xu Zhi! Do you dare to fight with me at night?"
"How dare you! Who are you? I will kill an unknown person with an axe!" Xu Zhi also reined in his horse and shouted.
"This is Xu Sheng, the general under the command of Governor Lu Xun! Look at the sword!" Xu Sheng walked forward, clapped his horse and waved his sword.
The two generals immediately clashed, and when the battle reached a certain point, Xu Zhi did not even forget to shout: "Light the fire!"
However, Xu Zhi saw the long ax in his hand widely opened and closed. Although Xu Sheng was not good at martial arts, he was always inferior to his equestrian skills. This naturally strong man from Liangzhou fought like a man and a horse. Xu Sheng could only He kept parrying, but his defense was airtight.
Xu Zhi suddenly reined in his horse and jumped away, shook his head and said, "You should fight back. It's boring to fight like this."
Xu Sheng saw the right moment, and when Xu Zhi was talking, he swung his sword to chop. Xu Zhi hurriedly raised his ax to meet him, but he made another false move with the sword, but Xu Sheng jumped away from his horse and retreated straight away. military formation.
"General! You made a mistake again." The sergeant leading the horse suddenly said.
Xu Zhi hurriedly slapped his forehead and said: "What's wrong, he got carried away and forgot to chase the enemy! It's all your fault, grandma! You're not allowed to drink as a punishment today."
"Ah?" The horse sergeant shook his head helplessly.
Li Xian's heavy cavalry also entered the city at this moment, and indeed stopped directly next to Xu Zhi.
"Captain, are you still chasing me?" Xu Zhi turned around and asked.
"No need. If we continue to pursue, there will be an ambush. Send an order to the entire army to garrison Changsha. Then send a message to all the ministries and tell them that our army has recovered Changsha and will have a three-day banquet today! Make every effort to repair the city defenses."
"Got the order!"
"By the way, where is Fu Qian?" Li Xian asked.
"Huh? I saw him when I just entered the city, why did he disappear?" Xu Zhi suddenly slapped his forehead.
Li Xian was also a little speechless. This guy seemed to be capable of nothing but fighting. He was also a little annoyed. He immediately stopped and said: "Look for me quickly. If I can't find you, I won't be allowed to drink tonight!"
Xu Zhi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he had no choice but to immediately hold up his hands and said: "I have the order! I will go find him now!"
.......
Wuzhangyuan City.
"Bo Yue, it turns out that I had that dream again last night. There was such a big thunder that split the southeast corner of the city." Zhuge Liang said, shaking his feather fan gently.
"Prime Minister, could this be a sign of the outcome of the war with General Han Xing?" Jiang Wei cupped his hands and asked.
Zhuge Liang said nothing: "Li Xian killed 30,000 prisoners without asking for orders. Even though your majesty said nothing, he still felt resentful in his heart. Therefore, I wrote to your majesty and asked him to go to Yong'an in person to test Li Xian. This person can indeed be of great use, but I can believe that he can defeat Quan Cong, but I have some doubts about his ability to defeat Lu Xun."
Jiang Wei stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, our army holding back Sima Yi's army here is nothing more than preventing Wei from being able to attack our three counties in Badong. If it is true that Wen Pinshuai has been marching his army from Jiangzhou at this time, Send troops, and then join forces with Lu Xun to send troops to Changsha, and soon we will send troops to Jiaozhou, won't the southeast of our country be opened wide?"
Zhuge Liang picked up the map and looked at it carefully, and said: "What Bo Yue said is true, but Li Xian's attack on Wu is unexpected. These three armies can form an ambush from ten sides, but there is one thing that can break the situation."
Jiang Wei cupped his hands and asked, "I don't understand my disciple, please let me know, Prime Minister."
Zhuge Liang gently placed the feather fan on the location of Changsha City and said: "If Lu Xun in Changsha is defeated, news of such defeat will immediately spread to Wei and Jiaozhou. Not only will the supplies of Wuling and Guiyang be cut off, I'm afraid that the scholars in Jiaozhou won't dare to send troops when they hear that Lu Xun has been defeated, and Wei will not waste its troops in Jingnan."
Jiang Wei was a little surprised and asked: "Prime Minister, do you mean that Li Xian defeated Lu Xun head-on?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "There is only one way to fight."
"Report! Jingnan Army reports!"
"Submit it quickly!" Zhuge Liang frowned and immediately asked someone to submit the military report.
"Haha, the truth is right, this Li Xian is indeed a handsome man!" Zhuge Liang immediately smiled and handed the general's report to Jiang Wei, "Bo Yue, take a look."
As Jiang Wei turned over the Jingnan military report, Zhuge Liang also began to speak: "This Lu Xun is Li Xian's inner demon. After ten years, he finally defeated him once on the frontal battlefield. Although there was no major damage, he was able to escape from Lu Xun's hand." It is not easy to fish out a city."
"Prime Minister, there is a little poem in this military newspaper."
"read."
"Yes, in the independent cold autumn, we go north to the Xiangjiang River and reach the head of Orange Island. We see the mountains all red, the forests all dyed, the river full of green, hundreds of boats vying for water, eagles striking the sky, fish flying in the shallows, and all kinds of frosty sky competing for freedom. I am sad. "Liao Guo, ask the boundless earth, who is responsible for the ups and downs." Jiang Wei finished reading the above question, and suddenly felt the tiger's body tremble, and thought that such a majestic and magnificent scenery could really be seen in Changsha?
Zhuge Liang nodded and said with a smile: "The scenery of this song is indeed good, but I prefer his song "Watching Swordsman with Light by the Light" in honor of General Zilong. Boyue, it's not over yet. There should be more later. have."
Jiang Wei nodded and said: "Indeed there are still more."
"I brought a hundred couples together to travel, recalling the turbulent years of the past. I was a classmate in my youth, in my prime, full of scholarly energy, scolding Fang Qiu, pointing out the country, inspiring words, and the excrement of thousands of households in the past. Have you ever remembered that when you hit the water in the middle of the current, the waves stopped? Flying boat.”
"Okay!" Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard what Jiang Wei was saying, and said: "This Li Xian is really a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. Bo Yue, we master and disciple really need to learn from him."
"Prime Minister, General Li Xian asked me to bring this from Jingnan." The messenger then took out a cloth bag from his arms and said
"What?" Zhuge Liang also asked curiously.
"gunpowder."
