On the tower of the North City Gate, the remaining defenders were all equipped with leather armor, bows and arrows. They even prepared wood and stone, fires to boil water, torches, torches, etc...
Just two words, professional.
Lu Meng frowned at that time. It didn't look like he was planning to resist temporarily.
If we hadn't prepared to defend the city in advance, we would never have been so prepared.
But it can be said that it was a false surrender. Mi Fang, several important officials, and the soldiers who guarded him are now in his hands.
Moreover, the army entered the city smoothly, and no ambush was found.
He was confused for a moment, and Mi Fang was more confused than him.
What are these people doing? !
Lu Meng stepped forward to persuade: "Everyone, I have said it many times, I am here just to help you..."
"Fart!" One of the defenders shouted angrily before Lu Meng finished speaking, "You treacherous and despicable villain, don't say any more. We are ashamed to be associated with someone who is inferior to you, a dolphin and a dog! We must fight." We, the people of Jiangling, have been greatly favored by General Guan. How can we surrender to you?"
Lu Meng was depressed and glared at Mi Fang angrily.
What the hell did you do? Not even surrendering?
"Why don't you open the city gate quickly! General Lu has promised not to harm the people or plunder people's wealth. What do you mean by this?" Mi Fang stepped forward and asked anxiously.
If offering a city or surrendering would cause trouble, how could I survive in Soochow in the future?
Shen Zhong on the city tower calculated that time was almost up, and whispered a few words to the military prince. The military prince suddenly shouted to Mi Fang: "Mi Fang! Come back quickly! You have led the army into the city, don't ignore yourself. Safety, Mr. Mi Shi!!"
His feelings and appearance are filled with compassion and admiration; his voice and words are tragic and poignant.
Mi Fang is stupid...
What is he saying?
Suddenly, smoke was rising from houses all over the city, and in an instant, the flames were already so high!
At this time, the houses were all made of wood. Now that the air has turned cooler, the air is much drier than before. The houses that were poured with lamp oil by people from Zhao's company in advance were only a little bit wet.
"Mi Shijun, if you don't rush back to the city now, when will you wait?!" The military lord finally shouted sternly, and then waved his hands to the left and right, "Fire the arrow, fast!"
The soldiers guarding the city tower took out arrows tied with oil-soaked cloth, ignited them, and then shot them downwards!
Small flying fireballs rained down one after another, and they did not hit anyone, but flew specifically towards the houses and buildings.
In an instant, fireworks burst into the sky.
Wang Juncheng, who was next to Mi Fang, suddenly changed his expression and shouted tremblingly: "Defend Mi Shijun and charge back to the city!"
"kill--!"
The soldiers around Mi Fang saw this situation and rushed towards the north city gate.
So that’s it, it turns out that Mi Shijun has been acting all this time!
A soldier was holding Mi Fang on his back. He was so moved that he couldn't help but blurt out: "Your Majesty sacrificed his life for justice. Even though my subordinates are just unknown soldiers, they are very grateful! Even if I risk my life today, I will definitely protect your Majesty from returning." Beicheng!”
I'm not? ! I don't!
"You treacherous thief!!" A furious Lu Meng slashed to death one of Mi Fang's soldiers who came over with a sword, "Kill! Whoever kills this thief will get a reward of a hundred catties!"
He no longer wanted to know the truth of the matter.
At this point, it doesn't matter whether Mi Fang faked the surrender or not. To Lu Meng, Mi Fang has completely lost its use value.
There is also the former police officer Fu Shiren. Jiangling is like this, and police officer Ding is also deceitful!
Lu Meng's anger arose in his heart, and his hatred grew in his courage. He raised his sword and pierced the chest of Fu Shiren, who was also dumbfounded.
"Uh...I...you?!" Fu Shiren didn't even understand what was going on until his death.
With just the few people around Mi Fang, how could they possibly rush back?
Soon the soldiers were stabbed to the ground one by one.
"General Lu, listen to me... ah!" Mi Fang stretched out her hand in the direction of Lu Meng. Five spears penetrated her chest and abdomen, and blood gushed out.
The glory and wealth have finally become a thing of the past, several mansions have been burned down, and the concubine Mei Ji can no longer enjoy the happiness.
Mi Fang's eyes gradually darkened, and in the end, the only things that were still in front of her eyes were the candies handed over by her brother when she was a child, and the sweet and sweet smile of her sister beside her.
"Sugar, so sweet...na..."
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, there is a leap ten months.
Mi Fang, the prefect of Nanjun, did not hesitate to sacrifice his own life, so he tricked Jiangling into surrendering to Soochow and died in the rebel army.
"Mi——Shi——jun——!! Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow quickly!" The military lord and other officials on the city tower cried out in unison, but this did not hinder the shooting speed of the arrow in his hand at all...
Lu Meng knew that it was impossible to capture Jiangling without any blood. His eyes were red with hatred: "Attack the city! Attack the city!"
Just in case, his army also brought ladders, wooden blocks and other things needed to attack the city. The wall of Jiangling Old City was not too high, and he had a large number of people, so maybe there would be a turn for the better!
Yu Fan became anxious and grabbed Lu Meng: "General! Don't be impulsive. We'd better lead the army to rush out of the city first, and then make plans!"
"No!" Lu Meng shook off Yu Fan, "If we capture this city gate, Jiangling will be in my hands. We are only a hair away from success, how can we fall short of our success!"
Yu Fan was so angry that he roared: "Lu Meng!! Open your eyes and take a good look around you!"
Lu Meng was shocked by the rare roar of this thin scribe. After regaining his senses a little, he turned around and looked around. Fires were burning in Jiangling New City on all sides, and thick smoke was billowing...
"Ah——!" There were still dead soldiers who appeared out of nowhere, pushing carts piled with hay and lit with fire, and rushed towards several city gates.
At each city gate, three or four people pushed the burning cart and rushed towards it. These people ignored the raging fire and their faces were blackened, tears streaming down their cheeks, as if they could not feel the pain, and they rushed forward without fear of death. Toward the city gate.
It's just that Soochow has a large number of people, and most of them were shot or stabbed to death before they could reach the city gate.
Even until they die, they just look at the city gate in the distance with unwilling faces...
In the air that gradually became scorching hot, Lu Meng shivered with excitement and woke up completely.
This is a complete trap!
The person who set up this plan was too cruel and terrible. He would never believe that it was Mi Fang's handiwork.
Is it Guan Yu? Or Zhuge Liang? Could it be Fa Zheng?
It didn't matter who it was. Lu Meng, who was completely awake, knew that if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to leave.
"The entire army breaks out in three groups! Charge out!"
Lu Meng got on his horse and personally directed the breakout of the south gate, which was the closest to the dock.
However, the soldiers who broke through to the south crowded at the south gate.
"ah--!"
The soldiers who rushed out of the city gate immediately screamed, but Lu Meng in the city had no idea what was happening outside!
"General!" The soldiers who were still on the tower in the south city shouted in panic to Lu Meng who was downstairs, "Outside the city... armor... crossbow..."
"What did you say?!"
The cries of death, howls, screams, and the crackling sounds of the burning flames formed a cruel funeral movement for Lu Meng, which played in Jiangling City.
He couldn't hear what the soldier was shouting at all.
Seeing this, the soldier anxiously pushed away the crowd and ran down the tower. He ran to Lu Meng's side, pulled the reins of his horse and shouted loudly: "General! There are sharp men in black armor outside the city, each armed with strong bows and crossbows to block the city gate and drawbridge. Soldiers We can’t rush out!”
"What, how could it be like this?! But Guan Yu is back?" Lu Meng's face turned livid when he heard this.
Impossible, how could Guan Yu return to Jiangling so quickly!
"It's not Guan Yu, the flags those soldiers are flying seem to be... it's Liu!"
There was only confusion in Lu Meng's eyes: "...Liu?"
Suppressing the confusion and confusion in his heart, Lu Meng asked again: "Which sect has the fewest soldiers?"
The soldier replied: "The east gate is the least, with only about a hundred people and a dark horse general."
Lu Meng's hope rekindled in his heart, and he immediately led his troops to break out to the east. He originally wanted to command the army to pretend to attack the west and south gates, and the main force would be concentrated with him to break out.
However, as the fire in Jiangling City grew bigger and bigger, the scene was chaotic, the morale of the army had dropped to the bottom, and his command system had long since failed, making it impossible to complete such precise operations.
"It doesn't matter. As long as I can lead my men to kill the generals and seize the flag, lead my troops out of the city through the east gate, and go around to the rear of the enemy troops at the west and south gates, the few hundred infantrymen who have lost their geographical advantage will be quickly defeated."
In the chaos of the war, General Lu Meng immediately formulated the best breakout plan based on the situation, led his troops, took Yu Fan with him, and went straight to the east gate where the dark horse general was...
