"Jiangdong rats will also shoot cold arrows." Zhang Fei spat on the ground after cursing.
When patrolling the southeast sides before, everyone was out of range from the city wall. Jiangxia's defenders watched the people walking around the city as if they were patrolling their own territory, but they did not dare to say a harsh word because Zhang Fei and Pang De The repressive force is too strong.
When we arrived near the west gate, the setting sun had already dipped below the horizon. Seeing that the sky was dark and the vision was unclear, Fazheng suggested getting closer, but he almost got tricked.
When Fazheng was still in shock, Pang De got off his horse and went to pick up the arrow.
"Third General, Military Advisor, there is a cloth strip wrapped around the arrow body." Pang De opened it as he spoke, and then said in surprise: "There seems to be writing on this cloth strip."
"Could it be Chu Sima's elaborate message? Let's go back to the camp and take a closer look." Fazheng said.
Zhang Fei shook his head and said in disbelief: "It shouldn't be possible, right? There weren't many people who entered the city. After Lu Xun's rumors spread, they all hid themselves. If we want the scouts to cooperate with us to break the city, it may take a while." We have to wait until Sun Quan relaxes."
Fa Zheng turned his horse's head and affirmed: "What Yide said makes sense. Sun Quan has not taken control of Jiangxia for the first time. The enemy will definitely not be so negligent now. If he wants to imitate General Lan and capture Jiangling, he is indeed in a hurry. Now he will go back." Let’s go to the camp and discuss it carefully. Our goal is not to seize Jiangxia, but to put enough pressure on Sun Quan to force him to let Lu Xun withdraw his troops.”
Everyone returned to the camp outside the city. Fa Zheng used the light to unfold a piece of cloth with nine characters crookedly printed on it: At midnight, the west gate opens and the city changes its owner.
After reading this, everyone looked at each other and thought to themselves that Jiangdong's leading brother was far away in Jianye. Could there be any descendants of him in Jiangxia City? Isn't this shot a little faster?
"Military advisor, could this be a conspiracy?" Pound asked doubtfully.
Fazheng shook his head and guessed: "The possibility of conspiracy is very high, but does Sun Quan have such courage? Even if he can defeat some of our troops, he still runs the risk of losing the city gate..."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Shuang arranged the recruits and was the last one to walk into the main tent.
Fazheng pushed the cloth in front of Xu Shuang's eyes, "General Xu, take a look at this first. Can you tell it's a scout based on the handwriting and the cloth?"
Xu Shuang frowned and replied: "The handwriting shouldn't be that. Scouts use code words to convey messages. Even if they are discovered, there is still hope of survival. There are few straightforward descriptions like this. In addition, this strip of cloth looks like the sleeves of a low-level officer... "
"It seems to be Sun Quan's plan without a doubt..." Fazheng shook his head and sighed.
"Then we don't need to pay attention?" Pang De asked.
Fazheng nodded and said: "Originally, our purpose was not to destroy the city, but we can imitate the calligraphy and arrow delivery method. I remember that this method was used when I followed my lord to attack Luocheng."
"Military advisor, since Sun Quan has come to your door, why don't you take advantage of his plan? If you break the city and capture the Biyan'er, the crisis in Jingzhou will be resolved immediately. If you don't go, I will lead the troops myself." Zhang Fei muttered at the side.
"Yide cannot go into danger alone. If anything happens, I can't explain it to the King of Hanzhong..." Fa Zheng quickly dissuaded him.
Zhang Fei laughed and replied: "Don't forget that I am the right general. I don't need to answer to my elder brother as a military advisor. Ziyu also said that I have the final say here. I secretly feel that I can break the city tonight."
"Uh... This... General, think twice. If you really want to go, you can send people there. You must not take the lead." Faced with Zhang Fei's pressure to exert power, Fazheng had no way to restrict him.
"Military advisor, don't worry. Although I'm a black man, I'm not stupid. I'll give you five hundred soldiers and let them clear the way into the city." Zhang Fei said nonchalantly.
Fa Zhengxin said, good guy, after Zhang Fei returned from Wudu, his mind became very flexible. Those soldiers who were surrendered did not become cannon fodder in Dongting, and they still did not escape their fate when they arrived in Jiangxia City.
Zhang Fei decided to venture into the city, and Fazheng immediately deployed all battalions to cooperate. To this end, he asked Pang De to detour to the east gate, and when the time came, he would make noises and shouts on the east side of Jiangxia to attract the attention of the defenders in the city. He also asked Xu Shuang to respond outside the west gate. Once there is a change in the city gate, immediately cover the retreat of the front army.
At three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Fei, with dozens of followers from Yizhou, escorted 500 soldiers from Cao's army as the vanguard, and tiptoed outside the west gate of Jiangxia.
The Yangtze River is tired in October, and the surging river flows at night. It is the time when the garrison guards at the city gates in Jiangxia are tired.
At this time, it was the time when the defenders were slacking off. Zhang Fei urged the surrendered soldiers to go to the front city gate. In order to prevent the surrendered soldiers from shouting and being exposed, their mouths were stuffed with rags, and the weapons in each person's hands were Small stick.
The reason why the surrendered soldiers had to go forward was that in addition to being threatened by sharp knives and steel spears from the rear, Zhang Fei also gave them a bigger promise. In addition to being released from slavery, there would also be rewards for killing the enemy.
Cao Jun killed Jiangdong soldiers without feeling guilty, and everyone moved forward one after another.
When Haizi met, the soldiers slowly moved towards the city gate.
When midnight arrived, the city gate opened with a creak, and the soldiers rushed in with their wooden sticks, thinking that what Zhang Fei said was true.
Zhang Fei stood watching from a distance for a while, and then said to Wu Er beside him: "It seems that the military advisor is too worried. I will lead everyone in first, and you will be responsible for informing General Xu later."
"still me..."
Before Wu Er finished speaking, Zhang Fei had already galloped his horse and rushed towards the city, whipping up his whip.
As soon as Zhang Fei entered the city gate, he saw the surrendered soldiers fighting with the defenders. They waved wooden sticks to seize the opponent's weapons. However, the defenders at the west gate had been completely eliminated.
"General, I've finally come to see you." An officer ran over in the darkness.
Wu Er was about to defend himself with a knife, but found that the man looked very familiar.
"So it's you, kid. Didn't he go back to his hometown to recuperate? Why are he here?" Zhang Fei was greatly surprised.
"The last general's hometown is in Jiangxia..." The man's eyes filled with tears.
Zhang Fei quickly urged Wu Er: "Go and inform General Xu that Nai Ying is really one of our own. Let him lead his troops into the city quickly. I want to capture Biyan'er alive."
"Wei." Wu Er responded and left.
The individual soldiers who surrendered were very capable and rushed into the street in a short time, while Zhang Fei's followers were attacking the tower.
Seeing that everything was going well, Zhang Fei made a promise to the man: "You have made a great contribution this time. Guard the city gate well. I will ask my elder brother to reward you well later."
"Thank you, General, for your cultivation."
It was Zhang Da who opened the city to open the city. Because Zhang Fei did not hesitate to fight passively, he was sent back to his hometown to recuperate after being injured during the attack on Luocheng. During his recuperation, he encountered Fu Shiren's rebellion and Sun Quan's back assassination of Jingzhou.
An alliance was drawn up along the Xiang River, and Jiangxia was owned by Sun Quan.
After Zhang Da recovered from his injury, in order to make a living, he joined the army and started as a guard. It took him a few years to be promoted to the leader of the team, in charge of fifty soldiers. However, because he was from Jiangxia, there was no room for advancement.
When Zhang Fei appeared at the gate of Jiangxia City, Zhang Da knew that his chance had come, and God never gave up on him.
