Such a fast sword...
Everyone could clearly see when Yang Ling made the move, but they could not see clearly how Chen Dao made the move. It seemed that Chen Dao's silhouette interrupted Yang Ling's offensive.
Le Jin knew the goods, and then he realized that Chen Dao was such a master.
If two people were chasing each other to fight, Le Jin would have no chance of defeating him based on Chen Dao's move just now. He also understood Ah Si's words again, there was no mediocre person in Beifu's eyes.
Yang Ling was even more frightened. This was the first time in his life that someone pointed a sword at him.
He looked at Le Jin next to him with pleading eyes. Le Jin snorted coldly and didn't care at all.
Le Jin originally saved him face and did not say that he would deal with his official position now, but Yang Ling insisted on resisting. How could he, Le Jin, think about Yang Ling's sake?
Yang Ling felt scared for the first time today. He didn't want to offend Beifu, he just wanted to test a maid in Beifu. But now he knew that even a small maid in Beifu was not something he could shake.
"I……"
He wanted to say something else, but when he heard a "pop" sound, Chen's upper body barely moved, but his legs swept down and hit Yang Ling's knee joint.
Yang Ling's knees softened and she knelt down.
There was another "pop" sound, and Yang Ling's other knee also became weak, and she fell to her knees.
And the direction where he was kneeling happened to be the direction from which Cao Wu was going to fight.
Yang Ling no longer had any strength left, let alone resist, she couldn't even say anything to refute.
He knelt there tremblingly, and then he realized that there were people outside the world and there was a sky beyond him.
A maid, a surrendered general, just two random people from Beifu, leaving him helpless.
This kind of oppression and despair completely destroyed his confidence as the number one general in Changsha.
Ah Si was not a holy mother. Seeing this guy looking at people with his nostrils, he was finally convinced. He snorted coldly and went down to the city to do his work.
Chen Dao put the sword in his hand, thought about it, and followed Ah Si.
Le Jin stopped him: "Uncle is here!"
Chen Dao turned around.
Among the generals with foreign surnames in Cao's army, Le Jin was relatively fond of making friends. He said, "I will leave the equipment at the top of the city to you to command!"
Chen Dao originally thought that the matter was over, but suddenly he felt a sense of respect after hearing these words.
As a surrendered general, and having just been surrendered, Le Jin actually entrusted him with such an important task.
Obviously this is not his Chen Dao's face, but Beifu Cao Wu's face. General Beifu's energy impressed him and made him admire him.
He bowed his hands and said to Le Jin: "I must do my best to defend the city until the end and live up to my mission!"
"good!"
Le Jin laughed loudly, and then whispered: "I hope there won't be a fight to the end."
Ah Si had walked far away, but he actually heard these words. He turned around and said with a smile: "With me here, it won't happen. There are more tools to defend the city."
After that day, Yang Ling was demoted to the city gate guard, just one of the four city gate guards, and Le Jin also sent someone to watch over him at all times to prevent him from doing things like opening up the city.
However, Le Jin knew clearly that a person like Yang Ling, who came from a Changsha family, would not be able to surrender in Kaicheng when the enemy came. He did not think about himself, but also the family. This was the difference between the children of the family and him. This kind of mud legs is different.
And Ah Si really fulfilled her promise. All kinds of city defense equipment were taken out. Although there were not many craftsmen in the city and the production efficiency was not high, those things were still used by Le Jin, Chen Dao and others. Broaden your horizons.
Many of the defensive equipment are actually very simple, but the important thing is the idea. If no one tells you what the principle is, you may not be able to figure it out in your life.
Later, Lejin sent people to mobilize craftsmen from other counties in Cangwu. Although there were few craftsmen in the county, it was better than nothing and could increase the progress to some extent.
On the sixth day, the scouts still did not report seeing the Jiangdong army, and Cao Wu's battle report had been sent back to Cangwu.
As expected, Yulin County did not have many defenders. The two vanguards, Huang Zhong and Xing Daorong, easily captured the two county towns and approached Yulin County.
When Cao Wu and the others left the city gate, they walked east, but they went straight to Yulin in the west. This move obviously disrupted the deployment of Shijia and Jiangdong and had a miraculous effect.
With the battle report as a base, Le Jin became more confident.
According to his deduction, if he were the commander-in-chief and heard the news that Cao Jun had arrived in Yulin, he would not continue to attack Guangxin, but would return to defend Yulin and rely on Yulin to fight against Cangwu.
Unfortunately, Jiangdong's command was obviously different from what he thought. In the early morning of the seventh day, the scouts sent news that Jiangdong's army had arrived at Guangxin City.
In fact, at this time, there was no need for scouts to send messages. Standing at the top of the city of Guangxin, one could already see the flags of Jiangdong Army.
A big word "Chiang" is hanging on it. It looks like there are ten thousand people there, who should be the main force of Jiangdong.
When his boots finally hit the ground, Le Jin breathed a sigh of relief and shouted from the top of the city: "Get ready to defend the city!"
Subsequently, under his command and dispatch, all three thousand soldiers became busy.
When she heard the bugle sound at the top of the city, Ah Si was still sleeping. She and Ah Shi were in the same room. When she got up to take a look, Ah Shi was not there for a long time. He must have gone to make medicine.
She yawned and got dressed and left the house. She was startled when she went out.
Chen Dao was already waiting outside, cupping his hands and saying, "Jiang Dongjun is here."
"Very good!"
Ah Si shouted subconsciously, because Jiang Dongjun was coming, and she had the opportunity to use her city defense equipment.
Immediately he felt that it was inappropriate to say this, so he covered his mouth and said: "I mean, let's go to the city to defend it!"
Chen Dao said, "It's dangerous at the top of the city. I can just go there. Miss Asi, please don't take any risks!"
Ah Si immediately became unhappy: "Didn't you hear General Le say that the Battle of Chibi is much more dangerous than this, and I'm still commanding on the big ship!"
Chen Dao tried to persuade her a few more times, but obviously he couldn't win over her, so he had to take her to the city.
Le Jin assigned 100 soldiers and 300 civilians to Chen Dao's command. The civilians had never been on the battlefield and could not fight with real weapons, but they could carry and assemble things.
The soldiers are responsible for controlling Ah Si's city defense equipment.
After seven days of debugging, the accuracy of the crossbows has been improved to a higher level, and the number of light and heavy crossbows has also been greatly increased. When facing the enemy, more than ten crossbows can be placed on the same wall, which is enough to defeat the enemy. There is no return.
Before Ah Si went out, he saw Ah Shi hurriedly entering the prefect's mansion, and quickly asked: "Xiao Shi, the enemy is coming, be careful to hide, but don't come out and run around!"
Ah Shi said "Oh" obediently, supported the bamboo basket behind his back and said, "I know, you can go and defend the city. General Zhao was able to open his eyes yesterday. My medicine should be effective, and he will be able to get out of bed today." ”
Hearing that Zhao Yun was going to be able to get out of bed, Chen Dao was surprised and ashamed, and finally became helpless and climbed up the city wall.
Outside the city, Jiangdong's army was getting closer and closer, and the "Chiang" flag fluttered in the wind.
Chen Dao once fought side by side with Jiangdong Army and probably knew the important generals in Jiangdong Army. He wondered: "Why is Jiang Xin here and not Zhou Yu?"
"Jiang Xin, are you awesome?"
Ah Si asked quickly.
Chen Dao shook his head: "In terms of martial arts, Jiang Xin can be regarded as a Jiangdong Tiger General, but in terms of marching and fighting, there is nothing outstanding. He should be considered quite satisfactory."
Ah Si felt relieved now. She directed the soldiers and civilians to get busy, while Chen Dao went to report to Le Jin first.
Le Jin was already fully clothed and standing at the top of the city, looking extremely majestic.
Chen Dao saluted him and said, "General, it's just Jiang Xin who's here. I've seen this person before."
Le Jin was overjoyed and quickly asked him about Jiang Xin's command of the troops. The two exchanged a few words and found that Jiang Xin was indeed nothing special. They couldn't help but wonder what kind of medicine Jiang Dongjun was selling in this gourd.
Le Jin said: "The scouts found no trace along the way. It is possible that the Jiangdong Army repeated its old tactics and came along the seaside. They traveled at night and there were few people on the seaside, so they avoided detection."
Chen Dao nodded, remembering what Ah Si had said about Beifu's intelligence, and added: "I'm afraid that the last time Jiangdong's army went west to Jiaozhi, the exploration arranged by Beifu along the way was discovered by Jiangdong's army, so no one discovered it when they came east this time. "
Le Jin nodded, which was in line with their earliest guesses. They originally thought that Jiang Dongjun would come secretly.
But they didn't know that behind this so-called lack of discovery, how many fishermen on the seashore had their families destroyed.
But for Le Jin, the only difference was that it was Jiang Xin who came, not Zhou Yu himself. Even if he knew those things, it was just a matter of time. Years of fighting had already made his heart as solid as stone. Among these generals with foreign surnames, only Li Dian would be saddened by the death of civilians.
Le Jin looked at the enemy's movements from a distance and whispered: "Then the first wave of enemy troops will be defended by my uncle."
Chen Dao quickly clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely live up to my mission!"
…
Outside the city wall, Jiang Xin rode in the middle of the army.
Contrary to what Chengtou Le Jin thought, this 10,000-strong army was not the main force in Jiangdong, but the Jiaozhi Army of the Shi family.
He came here to lead the army temporarily. Behind him, there were 20,000 Shijia Jiaozhi troops, led by Han Dang and Ling Tong respectively, and he was just a forward.
As for the 30,000-strong army, it was indeed not Zhou Yu who was giving the orders, but Lu Meng.
Lu Meng was touching the sword. He seemed to be touching the sword all the time. He rode on the left side of Jiang Xin and walked side by side with Jiang Xin. On the right side was a general from a scholar family named Bai Shu.
Jiang Xin glanced at Lu Meng from time to time. This young man who had only become famous in recent days was only able to command the three Jiangdong generals Sun Quan and Zhou Yu appreciated. Jiang Xin did not think highly of him.
However, the military orders were overwhelming, and Jiang Xin had no other ideas.
Moreover, the sword in Lu Meng's hand was given by Zhou Yu. In other words, Lu Meng here represents Zhou Yu himself. Jiang Xin may not buy Lu Meng's account, but she cannot ignore Zhou Yu.
Among the generals in Jiangdong, except for Cheng Pu, who could take charge alone, no one looked up to Zhou Yu.
Jiang Xin thought for a while and asked Lu Meng for his opinion first: "In the general's opinion, is this city easy to break down?"
Lu Meng smiled and said: "I have to give it a try..."
Before he finished saying the word "try", he heard the whistling wind coming from the direction of the city wall, and an arrow was already shooting towards Jiang Xin's banner.
The offensive and defensive battle of Guangxin began, and the battle of Jiaozhou also kicked off.
