The east gate of Quanling was opened as promised.

When everyone in the Wu army saw this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The gains gained from the peace of the city are naturally less life-and-death battles.

But seeing that this matter was going too smoothly, Jiang Qin became more and more uneasy, so he quickly ran to Lu Meng's side, cupped his hands and said:

"General, isn't this going too smoothly?"

"It seems to be a scam. I would like to ask you to lead your troops into the city to investigate. How about the general be ready to respond outside the city at any time?"

In one word.

Lu Meng pondered for a moment, and for the sake of safety, he also agreed.

After waiting for the decision, Jiang Qin led his troops into the city and marched into the city in full formation.

When we arrived at the city gate, County Governor Hao Pu had already greeted him personally at the city gate.

End of ceremony!

Jiang Qin didn't notice any flaws in his expression, so he relaxed his vigilance slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Jun's troops took over the front line of the city wall before continuing deeper into the city.

Time passes by minute by second.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed, and Lu Meng, who was waiting outside the city, couldn't help but have a look of doubt on his face.

"Gong Yi has been leading his troops into the city for so long, so he should have been informed of the latest situation in the city, right?"

"Could it be that something went wrong?"

After some serious contemplation, his face suddenly became serious, and he was about to draw his sword and give the order: "Soldiers, enter the city..."

The order has not yet been issued.

But it seems that the latest trends have been reported in the city.

"Kill, kill Wu Gou..."

The next second, without waiting for the Wu people to react, groups of soldiers from the city were seen charging at them quickly and with high morale.

How could the soldiers of Wu, who had just taken over the front line of the city wall, expect that such a reversal would occur quickly in the city, with the direct attack of the Jingzhou Army!

For a moment, Wu's soldiers were unexpectedly killed and were hacked to the ground one after another.

The thick smell of blood filled the place.

After a while, Yiqi Juechen took the lead and ran out.

Zhao Tong used both his spear and sword, leaving a trail of blood along the way, which was extremely majestic.

Almost in an instant, Wu's soldiers at the city gate were cleared.

At this moment, when Lu Meng saw this, his expression suddenly changed.

How could he not understand?

We have fallen into a trap!

But with such a golden opportunity to seize the city today, how could Lu Meng sit back and watch the Jingzhou army retake it?

"The troops obeyed the order, rushed into the city, and recaptured the city gate."

Raising his long sword high, Lu Meng ordered loudly.

As soon as the order came out.

All the troops of Wu army rushed in together.

The two armies immediately fought together to form one group.

The soldiers on both sides also fought desperately, and they were all red-eyed.

However, Zhao Tong was everywhere, and no one from the Wu people could withstand his troops.

A fierce battle raged for a while.

Seeing that the Jingzhou reinforcements were far behind our own in terms of numbers, and only numbered in the thousands, Lü Mengton's expression revealed a hint of foreboding:

"No, since the enemy troops have come for reinforcements, why are they only in the thousands?"

Just as he was thinking.

Accident strikes again!

"Kill all the invading Wu dogs..."

"Capture Lu Meng alive..."

All of a sudden, loud noises suddenly came from all around the rear of the military formation.

Looking back.

I saw numerous figures in all directions behind our own military formation.

There were not only heavily armed Jingzhou sergeants, but also a large number of people armed with hoes and sticks, as well as armed forces under various powerful men.

You can’t tell at a glance!

This rapidly changing situation immediately caused confusion among the Wu soldiers who were fighting.

"this……"

For a time, even though Lu Meng made many wise plans, all kinds of doubts came to his mind.

What exactly did you do?

Even the local people and wealthy families helped the Jingzhou Army?

only.

Now that the situation was unfavorable, Lu Meng knew that if he continued to fight, the casualties would continue to double.

He raised his head and looked at the nearby Lingling capital city in front of him. He sighed helplessly and quickly waved his sword unwillingly to give the order to retreat.

The flag is waved.

The troops of the Wu army, who had already panicked, dared to stop here and wanted to flee quickly.

However, Zhao Tong had been planning this for a long time, so how could he let Wu Jun leave easily?

Seeing that the enemy army was about to retreat, Zhao Tong looked extremely serious at this moment and said: "You thieves, how can you come to Jingzhou and leave as soon as you say?"

That's it.

He waved his spear, and all the soldiers under his command held their swords tightly to block the retreating steps of Wu's soldiers.

At this moment, the various units of the Jingzhou Army that had been encircled from outside the city were also encircling them together.

Ma Zhong, Liu Yin, and Zhang Yi each took charge of their own troops and pressed heavily in the direction of the Wu army.

The two armies encircled.

A bloody battle is taking place on the outskirts of the city.

Due to the large number of powerful armed forces and the strong support of ordinary people, the size of the Jingzhou army is no weaker than that of the Wu army.

What's more, after being ambushed, the soldiers of the Wu army were already in chaos.

After fighting for most of the time.

The Jingzhou Army had the mood to defend their homeland, but they became more and more courageous in fighting, and their fighting spirit became more and more incomparable.

The two armies fought fiercely until evening.

The sun sets.

The Wu army fought and retreated, and finally got rid of the Jingzhou army's pursuit.

only.

Although the Wu army retreated, they suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the morale of the entire army was extremely low.

After retreating for nearly dozens of miles, we temporarily set up camp to rest and recuperate.

Lu Meng personally inspected the entire army and saw the army's increasingly depressed mood.

He knew that with the defeat in this battle, there was no chance to attack Lingling County again.

In the place where the two armies were fighting fiercely, the air was already filled with a strong smell of blood. Countless corpses were piled up in the surrounding area, as well as endless blood that seemed to be gathering in a river.

This battle is extremely fierce!

After the war, in addition to the dead in the battle, the Wu army even had about a thousand people captured because they could not escape.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Tong immediately ordered all the ministries to pile up the corpses and cremate them.

Cleaning the battlefield is also a link that Zhao Tong attaches great importance to.

He knew that the most important factor in the frequent plagues during the Three Kingdoms era was the frequent wars.

And the corpses could not be disposed of quickly after the war.
To be continued...
