Chapter 265: Crisis

Huang Zhong stood on the city gate tower and looked at the other side of the Minjiang River. The Jiangdong Army's dry village stretched for more than ten miles, with flags spreading out, and there were shadows and a killing aura faintly revealed. Turning his head to the right, the boat formation on the south bank of the Yangtze River was scattered and endless. The water camp was like a city, and the Jiangdong Navy was shouting and performing. Looking into the distance, a grain transport team composed of long large and small barges was continuously moving towards the Jiangnan Water Village.

Huang Zhong frowned and felt extremely stressed. He was a long-time general on the battlefield, but he had never encountered such a difficult battle like this during this period. Huang Zhong couldn't help but worry. He was not worried about himself, he was only worried that he could not complete the task entrusted by the general.

Zhu Rong walked to Huang Zhong, looked at the Jiangdong military camp in the distance, and couldn't help but feel moved: "We may not be able to defend it!"

Huang Zhong said firmly: "You can definitely keep it! You must keep it! I believe the general will definitely come!"

Zhu Rong couldn't help but think of Zhang Lang and frowned.

There was no battle on the first day, and the night was particularly quiet. There were people everywhere on the city, but no one spoke. The lights of the gates were on until dawn.

The next morning, the sound of war drums in Jiangdong sounded loudly, and suddenly the quiet earth was lifted up. Countless birds that were frightened by the fear flew on their faces, and they were panicked and flew around.

The soldiers of Lu Bu's army who were awakened stood up and looked out of the city. In the morning fog, hundreds of thousands of Sun Jian's army were pressing over, and it was black, like a surging tide, a solemn atmosphere, a spear like a forest, and a cold light shining.

Huang Zhong carried a big sword and carried a bow and arrow, and ran up to the city wall surrounded by several personal soldiers. He looked at the scene outside the city and frowned. Huang Zhong looked around and saw that all the soldiers were ready to fight. Although the soldiers were very tired, they did not have any fear. Huang Zhong couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

"General, look!" An officer next to him suddenly pointed to the river on the right and shouted.

Huang Zhong immediately looked in the direction of his finger and saw hundreds of warships leaving the water camp and going up the river. They wanted to attack from the water route to cut off the rear route of Lu Bu's army. Huang Zhong frowned and muttered, "I hope Zhurong and the others can resist!" It turned out that Zhurong and her barbarian army were no longer at ease along the river, just to prevent Sun Jian's army from using the advantages of the navy to plagiarize the rear route.

The war began. With the shocking sound of war drums, the Jiangdong army rushed like a tide, the rain of arrows covered the sky, and the earth was trembling violently.

Soon, a bloody battle was in the top of the city. The soldiers of both sides fought bloodily on the top of the city. The eyes were covered with blood. More and more people fell down. In the blink of an eye, the corpses were piled up! A soldier of the red-eyed Lu Bu army held the two Sun Jian soldiers who had just rushed up and jumped off the city wall.

At the same time, the battle on the riverside also began. The Jiangdong Navy launched a landing battle under the cover of ships and crossbows, while the barbarian soldiers used the pit to resist horses to resist. Sun Jian's sailors were wearing headscarves and holding special swords and shields to charge like a tide. Countless people who were transferred into the pit were shot by poisonous arrows, but they continued to charge. The barbarian soldiers tried their best to resist, but the defense lines were lost one after another, with heavy casualties!

...

The battle lasted until sunset, and the army attacking Fuling temporarily retreated, while the barbarians guarding the riverside were broken through the defense line by Sun Jian's army, and the defeated generals retreated into the city. Then Sun Jian's naval army cut off the connection between Fuling and the rear and surrounded Fuling City with the army. Today, Fuling has become an isolated city.

At night, the sky was full of stars and moon. Sun Jian, who was passionate, was riding on his tower boat in the night to patrol the river and look at Fuling City. The lights in Fuling City were lit, but it was silent.

Sun Jian said proudly: "An old man and a woman also want to stop my military attack, which is simply a delusion!"

Zhou Taixing asked for his orders: "Lord, please let me lead the navy to raid Fuling City!"

Sun Jian thought about it and felt that Lu Bu's new defeat was the opportunity to take advantage of the victory, so he nodded and said, "I will give you ten thousand elites and raid in the dark! Once you break into the city, you will send a signal to meet, and I will immediately lead the main army to attack the city!"

Zhou Tai excitedly clasped his fists and agreed and ran down quickly.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Tai led 10,000 elite naval troops out of Xizhai and sneaked into the vicinity of the Xicheng Gate of Fuling. After observing for a while, Zhou Tai ordered the siege. The 10,000 elite naval troops quickly attacked, shot and killed the sentinels on the city wall with powerful crossbows, and then used lock hooks to hit the city wall, and then began to climb the city wall.

...

Huang Zhong, who was patrolling the east city wall, suddenly heard the sound of killing in the west city and the sky-high price. He was shocked and looked west. He saw a flash of fire and a shadow of people in the fire. Huang Zhong immediately realized that the enemy was raiding in the night. At this moment, the sound of gongs in the west sounded rapidly. Huang Zhong was shocked because the sound of gongs meant that the opponent had already broken into the city.

Huang Zhong did not think about it carefully and explained to Zhu Rong, and went down the wall with a big knife. Then, he led the only two thousand cavalry toward the west city gate. These two thousand cavalry had been staying in the square near the east city gate, originally intended to be a force to counterattack if necessary.

Zhou Tai was dressed in black clothes, holding a long sword in one hand and holding a leather shield in the other hand, leading his elite sailors to sprinkle from the city wall. Although the soldiers of Lu Bu's army struggled to resist, they could not resist the brave Zhou Tai at all. Zhou Tai led people to fight a bloody road to the city gate. More than a dozen Lu Bu's soldiers rushed up roaringly. In a melee between the two sides, more than a dozen Lu Bu's soldiers were killed.

Zhou Tai did not care about the blood on his face, and rushed to the city gate with his subordinates, raised the door bar, and then pushed the city gate open.

With a shout, nearly 10,000 Sun Jian's naval troops rushed into the city. At this moment, Zhou Tai ordered people to send out a signal rocket.

Sun Jian, who was waiting for news in the east of the city, was very excited when he saw the signal rocket and immediately led tens of thousands of elite troops to fight towards the east gate. For a moment, the entire night sky was opened by the noise.
