Jiangling City is silent. Walking on the city wall, you can only hear the sound of the breeze blowing on the city wall and the sound of the Yangtze River flowing in the distance.
There was no sound of people in the streets and alleys of the city, and only the flickering lights of the government offices and towers in the distance remained.
So quiet~
Lumengle immediately stepped forward, feeling uneasy for some reason.
"Grand Governor, the banquet has been arranged in the governor's mansion and is waiting for you to come!"
Driving the horse forward, the deeper you go, the quieter you get.
Lu Meng reined in his horse and stopped.
"Grand Governor, why did you stop?"
Mi Fang was shocked when she saw Lu Meng stop, but the expression on his face was still calm.
"I just feel a little uneasy."
"All the troops have entered the city, why should we doubt it?"
Mi Fang pretended to be angry.
"If I really don't surrender, how can I stop the 30,000 elite soldiers from Jiangdong with the more than a thousand weak soldiers in Jiangling City?"
The truth seems to be this.
Lu Meng thought to himself: Am I being suspicious?
Xu Xiang also said on the side: "My soldiers are in charge of the governor's mansion, so there is nothing to worry about. If the governor hesitates like this, I might hurt his loyalty."
Lu Meng glanced at Mi Fang and knew that if he continued like this, Mi Fang might be so angry that she would not surrender.
"Hahaha~"
He laughed to hide his embarrassment.
"I'm worrying too much, let's go!"
He drove the horse under him and headed towards the county governor's mansion.
Beside him, groups of Jiangdong soldiers stepped forward to occupy the Jiangling main road, and one group followed Lu Meng to the governor's mansion.
However...
In fact, he, Lu Meng, was really not suspicious.
A military commander's whim is sometimes a warning from his sixth sense, but he trusted Xu Xiang too much, and the police in front of him dealt with it too easily.
So much so that he didn't take the warning seriously.
The gate of the governor's mansion was opened, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard inside, and the sound of Meiji singing and singing could also be heard.
"please!"
Mi Fang walked in front and made an inviting gesture to Lu Meng.
"please!"
Lu Meng immediately accepted the order and slowly walked into the mansion.
Behind him, generals Han Dang and Jiang Qin also followed.
Walking into the Sheriff's Mansion, the aroma of wine and food could be heard coming out.
"I have been fighting all day long, day and night. It's the time when I'm hungry. Hurry up and serve me some food and wine!"
The old general Han Dang entered the banquet and immediately urged Mi Fang to serve food and wine.
"I'll go give the order right away."
Mi Fang walked towards the kitchen, as if to urge the chef to serve the food as soon as possible. Lu Meng, Han Dang, Jiang Qin and their personal guards were in the hall, waiting for the food and wine to be served.
"Huh?"
Jiang Qin, who was wearing strong armor, was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why don't you see Captain Xu?"
Xu Xiang?
After being reminded by Jiang Qin, Lu Meng looked around the palace and found that there was indeed no figure of Xu Xiang.
It turned out that Xu Xiang sneaked away when he entered the mansion just now.
"not good!"
Lu Meng slapped the table and stood up.
"Mi Fang surrenders, there may be fraud!"
He immediately stood up and pulled out the knife from his waist.
As soon as he stood up, Han Dang and Jiang Qin also stood up and pulled out the ring-headed knives from their waists.
The personal guards also drew their swords to protect Lu Meng.
"Where is Mi Zifang? Where is Xu Ziming?"
He shouted loudly, but no one in the hall responded.
Phew~ Phew~
Jump~
I saw a signal flare suddenly flashing in the sky, and the signal could be seen throughout Jiangling City and outside.
"Something bad happened!"
As soon as this signal bomb went out, everyone in the hall didn't know that Mi Zi Fang was pretending to surrender.
And even Xu Xiang turned against him!
Lu Meng gritted his teeth and was so angry that the veins on his forehead swelled.
"Mi Fang is hateful. If I capture him, he will definitely die a good death. And Xu Ziming, he betrayed the lord's trust and made me fall into Mi Fang's plan to surrender! If I fall into my hands, I will eat his flesh and drink his food." Blood!"
"Grand Governor, it is better to break out now. Mi Fang is afraid of setting up a heavy siege in the governor's mansion. We have 30,000 troops outside the city. As long as the Grand Governor escapes, Jiangling will be at your fingertips!" Veteran general Han Dang Li Shi Sun Jian, Sun Ce, The three generations of Sun Quan followed him in his conquests in all directions, and have seen many scenes. At this moment, he is not in a hurry, holding the ring-shou knife tightly in his hand, his eyes are firm, and there is no fear.
"good!"
Jiang Qin also responded.
"As long as I rush out of the governor's mansion, join forces with the army outside, and open the gate of Jiangling City, I, Jiangdong, will still be in my hands!"
"good!"
The decision was made, and Lu Meng stopped talking nonsense.
"Commanders, follow me and charge!"
Unknowingly, a group of swordsmen and axemen were surrounding the governor's house.
This was Mi Fang's plan to ambush the governor's house in advance.
"kill!"
Lü Meng shouted angrily, and he took the lead, waving the spear he took from the bodyguard in his hand, and continuously killing the swordsmen and axemen who came to attack. He is agile and can resist every attack with accuracy.
Puff puff puff~
The art of marksmanship is displayed vividly in his hands. Every shot can almost take away a life.
Han Dang and Jiang Qin followed closely behind, and they fought bloody battles.
"Yeah yeah~"
The old general Han Dang arrived late and rushed in front of Lu Meng instead.
He held a long knife and charged forward with a roar. His body is as flexible as a tiger, and every kill with his sword is accurate. Han Dang's eyes showed determination and courage. Even if the followers around him fell, he would not flinch and would only rush forward more bravely.
Amidst the light and shadow of the sword, his blade drew deep marks on the swordsman's armor, accompanied by splashes of blood. The blade in his hand is like the claws of a beast, and every swing is frightening.
Han Dang's figure wandered around the battlefield, like the existence of a murderous god. The murderous aura permeated the entire battlefield, making people shudder.
In his hands, the enemy was as fragile as a piece of paper, and he killed him with one knife after another.
Jiang Qin also fought his way through the crowd. The three of them were covered in blood, like evil ghosts coming out of hell.
"Huh~"
Lu Meng was on guard with a gun, but after wielding a hundred guns, a thousand guns, and ten thousand guns, even an iron man could not withstand it.
However, the Shu troops in the Sheriff's Mansion seemed to be coming in an endless stream, making it impossible to see them all at a glance.
Corpses were already piled up in several layers at their feet, but it seemed that they would never see the dawn of victory.
"Lu Ziming, surrender quickly!"
Directly behind the crowd, a clear young voice sounded.
Lu Meng squinted his eyes, but thick blood flowed from his forehead, making his vision covered with blood. He couldn't see clearly who was in front of him, only an outline.
"Who are you?"
He was already at the end of his strength. If the swordsman charged again, he might not be able to survive, especially since the stab wounds on his body were already aching. Some of the blood on his body belonged to the enemy and some to him.
The terrain of the Sheriff's Mansion is narrow, and it is simply impossible to avoid being touched by a leaf.
"I am Mr. Liu!"
Liu Gongsi?
Lu Meng snorted coldly.
"It turns out you are the Crown Prince of Hanzhong. I, Lu Meng, have heard of your reputation for a long time. I heard that you sent three thousand troops to quell the rebellion in Nanzhong. It only took three months to do it. If it were me, I would probably have no idea. It’s hard to do. It’s true that a hero comes from a young age, and we are not as good as me!”
rest!
What you need now is to rest, and then you need to delay!
Lu Meng praised Liu Chan, hoping to delay him moment by moment.
drag!
Just drag it hard!
He has an army of 30,000. If he hears the movement in the city, he will definitely attack the city. As long as he can support the army to enter the city, there is still hope!
Moreover, when he entered the city, thousands of people entered the city.
He didn't believe that these thousands of people couldn't make some splash.
How could Liu Chan not know about Lu Meng's little thoughts?
But he just chuckled and said, "Is the Grand Governor waiting for the army outside the city?"
Seeing that his little cleverness was seen through, Lu Meng snorted coldly and said: "I have thirty thousand soldiers, and they have all arrived in Jiangling. Little Liu Chan, even if you bring a large army, how many can you bring? It is not worth my thirty thousand army." ? I think you should leave early to avoid being a prisoner under my command."
"Hahaha!"
Liu Chan looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he had heard some funny joke.
"The soldiers you brought were suppressed by my army just now. Also, it's late at night now, do you know why the sky is so red?"
The sky is red?
Lu Meng was stunned.
He was covered in blood, and everything he could see was red, but the sky was red?
His expression changed drastically, he wiped the sticky blood from his eyes with his underwear, and looked up.
It was already late at night, but the sky was a bright red, as if a fire had burned half of the sky.
fire?
fire!
Lu Meng gritted his teeth. He looked at Liu Chan in front of him and asked, "Is this all your plan?"
"Yes, you can use your plan, why can't I use it?"
"Insidious villain!"
Han Dang spat on the ground.
"hehe."
Liu Chan sneered and said: "Only you Jiangdong rats are allowed to use tricks, but I, Liu Chan, can't use tricks? If you didn't want to take Jiangling without using a single soldier, how could you be in jail?"
"Surrender now, there is still a chance of survival. If you don't surrender, hum!"
Liu Chan waved his hand, and the swordsmen in the front row stepped back. Behind Liu Chan, three rows of archers were already drawing their bows and setting arrows on the strings.
"I just need to give the order. When all the arrows are fired, your lives will be at risk!"
"this..."
Jiang Qin looked at the shimmering arrow and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Lu Meng's face was ashen, but there was no fear on his face.
"It's just death anyway, so why be afraid of it!"
Han Dang roared angrily, and with brute force coming out of nowhere, he rushed towards Liu Chan like an arrow.
In his opinion, only by capturing Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, can they have a chance of survival!
"The thief is so brave!"
Mi Yang and Deng Ai, who had been guarding him for a long time, rushed forward with swords in hand and blocked Han Dang in front of Liu Chan.
"Stubborn!"
Liu Chan also wanted to use Lu Meng to exchange something with Sun Quan, but now it seems that they are very stubborn.
Since you are stubborn, I will send you to Mr. Taishan Mansion!
"shoot!"
Liu Chan gave an order, and the three rows of archers let go at the same time. The dense arrows could really be described as arrows raining down.
Lu Meng and general Jiang Qin's eyes were about to burst, and they quickly waved their swords to try to block the rain of arrows.
"Come behind me, Grand Governor!"
Jiang Qin was determined to die, so he stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Meng. The spear in his hand danced like a spear.
Whoosh whoosh~
But arrows are raining down, how can human beings resist them?
After a round of arrows, Jiang Qin, who was as strong as a calf, was transformed into a hedgehog. His eyes were wide open, with a look of death on his face.
Behind him, Lu Meng was hit by several arrows. He looked painful and was breathing heavily, but he was not in fear of his life.
Although Han Dang was brave, after all, he was at the end of his strength after a round of fighting. Deng Ai and Mi Yang joined forces and put their swords directly on his neck.
No matter how angry he was, he couldn't resist the soldiers rushing forward and the ropes.
Han Dang was immediately wrapped into a rice dumpling.
"Grand Governor, you are no longer Wu Xia Amon. You should know how to stay useful. In the future, you may have a chance for revenge. If you die now, you will be a withered skeleton that will be trampled under my feet."
"Liu! Gong! Heir!"
Lu Meng looked at Liu Chan with hatred on his face. He almost said the words Liu Gongsi through gritted teeth.
"Tie up Lu Meng and let the military doctors treat his injuries. Don't let him die."
As Lu Meng was the governor of Eastern Wu, I'm afraid he could exchange a lot of things with Sun Quan.
...
Time goes back to when the signal bomb was just sent into the sky.
Pang Tong, who was ambushing upstream on the river bank, looked calm and gave the order immediately.
"Cut the ropes and light the fodder! Crossbowmen, spearmen, sword and shield men...each perform their duties and prepare to capture Jiangdong soldiers!"
I saw in the darkness, these dozens of merchant ships had docked early. The ships were not loaded with cargo, but fodder poured with kerosene. At this moment, when the torches were lit, dozens of merchant ships suddenly burst into flames, and the ropes were cut off. The boat went down the river.
It was the rainy season, and the water on the river was already turbulent. The river wind was howling, and the fire became more and more fierce, rushing towards the Jiangdong warship parked on the river.
The light of the signal bomb made the Jiangdong soldiers outside Jiangling City understand that Mi Fang's surrender might be a fake surrender. When they saw dozens of burning fire ships rushing down, many soldiers panicked.
"No need to panic, don't let the fire ship get close, we will go down the river to protect the war ship!"
Faced with this situation, Jiangdong generals Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng and others issued orders respectively.
As soon as the military order was given, Wu Jun seemed to have found a backbone. They shook their oars and galloped downstream.
However...
The boat galloped for only a few hundred meters before stopping again.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
When Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, Zhou Tai joined Sun Ce's army together with Jiang Qin from the same county. He followed Sun Ce to conquer Liu Yao, Yan Baihu, Wang Lang and others, and achieved numerous military exploits.
At this moment, there was an anxious look on his face.
It was obviously going down the river, and the distance from the fire ship was getting farther and farther, so why did it stop at the critical moment?
"General Zhou, the Shu army first moved across the river with iron ropes, making it impossible for boats to cross for a while."
"Rush, break the iron lock."
Unexpectedly, Mi Fang was prepared to surrender.
The boat hit the iron rope, but one section was washed away, and another section was washed away. There was deep darkness in the distance. In this endless darkness, the iron chains seemed to be endless. In addition, the fire ship was going faster and faster with the wind and the current. They But it was blocked by the iron rope, and for a moment, the fire ship was about to collide with the war ship.
"Damn it!"
Zhou Tai spat and said: "Sail towards the south bank!"
He should have ordered the warship to sail towards the police. Zhou Tai's original idea was to distance himself and then head towards the south bank, so that no warship would be lost.
After all, if dozens of warships were docked at the shore, and if they were to suddenly head towards the other shore, there would not be enough time, and half of them would surely be lost in the sea of fire.
He couldn't bear to part with those warships.
but now...
The iron rope across the river prevented them from distancing themselves, and precious time had been exhausted. Now they had to face the fire ship directly, and the situation was even worse!
Before, half of the warships had to escape, but now only a small part of the warships had to escape.
Thinking of Lu Meng in Jiangling City and the tens of thousands of Jiangdong elite soldiers who had landed in the morning, he gritted his teeth and said to Xu Sheng on the side: "Wen Xiang, you lead the warship to the police and ask Lu Xun to come to support. I can't take him away." Take off Jiangdong Erlang, capture Jiangling, and rescue the Governor!"
Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment and shook his head quickly.
"If I want to go to the police, I'm going to General Zhou. How can I be a deserter and run away without a fight?"
Zhou Tai looked at Xu Sheng with a cold face and roared: "There is no time now. What I say is a military order. You just carry it out!"
"promise!"
The first level of officialdom crushed people to death, Xu Sheng had no choice but to accept the order.
Zhou Tai had already jumped out of the warship and headed towards the north bank of the river.
Huhuhu~
The burning fire ship, loaded with fuel and fodder, soon collided with the Jiangdong warship.
In an instant, fire broke out everywhere, and the warship was ablaze. The Jiangdong soldiers on the warship were panicked. Some tried their best to put out the fire, while others ran away in panic. However, the fire intensified, and the wood and oil on the ship were quickly burned. The warship gradually sank, and the Jiangdong soldiers jumped into the river one by one to protect themselves.
The Jiangdong soldiers in the water swam to the shore in unison, while some soldiers with poor swimming skills struggled in the river. The fire illuminated the surface of the river, and the water was boiling. As the warship sank, the screams of the soldiers who fell in the river were intertwined with the splashing water.
On the shore, the prince's troops had been shooting arrows into the river from the river bank. The soldiers from Jiangdong could only throw away their helmets and armor to avoid the attack of the arrow rain, and swam towards the shore with the strength of their own strength.
certainly...
These swimming Jiangdong soldiers were exhausted even after they landed ashore, and they were nothing more than captives!
On the river, dozens of warships came quickly. These were the boats brought by Liu Chan from Jiangzhou. The Shu soldiers on them were holding swords and guns in an attacking posture.
The Jiangdong soldiers struggled to climb up the other side, desperately avoiding the rain of arrows, while drawing out their swords and guns to fight against the Shu army. The two armies fought fiercely, the river was dyed red, and screams and the sounds of swords clashing came one after another.
Zhou Tai took the remaining soldiers ashore and wanted to gather soldiers to attack Jiangling City. However, as soon as he got ashore, he realized that there were no Jiangdong soldiers anywhere in sight.
All Shu troops!
Those Jiangdong sons and daughters died and fled, either becoming food for the fish and turtles in the river, or becoming prisoners of the Shu army.
"General, what should I do?"
By now, Zhou Tai also knows that there is nothing he can do.
Thirty thousand troops!
Zhou Tai's heart ached to the point of bleeding.
This is Jiangdong's elite division. Could it be that he is no longer here in Jiangling?
"Attacking Jiangling now will only lead to death. Let's go and flee to the police before we argue!"
Zhou Tai was very calm and immediately sneaked into the river with his remaining soldiers. He was very good at water. After taking off his armor and weapons, he flew up and down in the river, just like a little white dragon in the waves. He was lost in the river after a few strokes. trace.
While cleaning the battlefield, extinguishing fires and arresting people, the smell of war still lingered in Jiangling City until the next day.
But Liu Chan understood that he had already fought his first battle in Jingzhou, and he fought beautifully!
Now, what Liu Chan mainly thinks about is how to expand his victory.
The result of this victory is not only to bring back the police, but also to a larger level.
Especially in politics!
