Zhao Tong personally led his troops and marched along the Wu Army camp in Yiyang.

Even Lu Su immediately dispatched Han Dang and his troops to resist.

Just as the Jingzhou Army on the north bank of Zishui was ready to go.

Under Guan Yu's orders.

The various ministries used battleships, Mongols and other major warships to form formations along the south bank to attack.

Orders were passed down one by one.

When they were about to approach the shooting range, the crossbowmen hidden behind the parapet of the battleship also took the lead in launching arrow strikes at the shore and the soldiers of Wu on the beach.

Afterwards, the Wu army's crossbows also fired.

The two armies launched a round of water shooting.

Hit by bursts of arrows.

From time to time, sergeants on both sides would be hit by arrows and fall to the ground in the water.

The battle didn't last long.

The originally crystal clear river water was covered with thick, bright red blood.

The battleships and Mongols advanced gradually. When they were about to approach Wu Jun's beach, the command flag waved, and immediately after, the Mongols mixed in among the battleships rushed forward one after another!

They landed to disperse the Wu army and gain a foothold.

Awaiting the follow-up progress of the main departments.

Orders were issued in an orderly manner, and the various units of the Jingzhou Army slowly approached.

Even as fierce as Gan Ning, he couldn't help but feel waves of intense pressure at this moment.

"Fuck, Guan Yu is so familiar with water battles compared to a northerner."

For a moment, he ordered his soldiers to meet the enemy, and he couldn't help but cursed.

The two sides started a tug of war.

Since Zishui flows from west to east, there is no advantage or disadvantage between the upstream and downstream armies between the two armies.

Both sides are well versed in the secrets of water warfare.

At this moment, Gan Ning also saw every move, and he was evenly matched with Guan Yu.

And on the other side.

After Zhao Lei gathered the Baqiu tribe, he also sent troops to the city.

When the Jingzhou Army arrived, Ling Tong, who was stationed in Luo County, calmly arranged his defense.

Under a series of offensives.

The Wu troops also relaxed their vigilance in Linxiang City behind.

Zhao Tong's troops, who were rapidly marching towards Yiyang, had been collecting military reports from various places along the way.

When he learned that all the garrison forces in Linxiang City had been drawn to the front line of Luoxian County, he immediately keenly sensed that the opportunity to seize the city had come!

Immediately, he set up camp on the same spot, pretending to rest and recuperate.

It was only when the moon was dark and the wind was high that they turned around like a ghost and marched quickly along the territory of Linxiang.

Until noon the next day, Han Dang led his troops to build a defense line in the south of Yizhou, and teams of scouts could quickly return to report the truth after conducting inspections.

After hearing this, Han Dang immediately returned to the camp in person and reported the truth to Lu Su.

"Zhao Tong's troops suddenly disappeared?"

"This... didn't he lead his troops north to attack our army together with Guan Yu's troops?"

"How is this going?"

"Could it be that……"

After pondering for a while, Lu Sudun looked anxious and said quickly: "General Han, send people to Luo County quickly and lead Ling Tong to pay close attention to the movements around Linxiang City."

"We must not let anything go wrong in this city."

As soon as he said this, Han Dang suddenly felt puzzled, but seeing the anxious look on his face, he immediately resigned and went to make arrangements for the matter.

Two days later.

Han Dang was dejected, expressionless as if his heart was filled with despair, he quickly walked into the big tent, cupped his hands and reported: "To the Commander-in-Chief, according to the latest military report from the scouts, Linxiang City has been defended to the death!"

"The one who broke the city was none other than Zhao Tong who led his troops to disappear suddenly."

As soon as this statement came out.

Although Lu Su had a premonition in his heart, when he actually received the truth, his brows still had a Sichuan eyebrow.

"Linxiang is the capital of Changsha. The city has high walls and thick walls. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the Jingzhou army suddenly attacked, how could it be defeated in such a short time?"

After pondering for a while, Lu Su asked with a trace of suspicion on his face.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, according to the soldiers who fled after the city was broken, it was caused by Lu Ziming's capture of Jiang Gongyi when his troops were defeated."

"Since the Jingzhou Army tried its best to suppress the news of Jiang Gongyi's capture, Lu Ziming may have been worried that announcing the general's capture would upset the morale of the entire army, so he chose to conceal it."

"Therefore, this led to the military report that the Linxiang defenders did not know that Jiang Gongyi had been captured, and the enemy troops wore our military uniforms under their banners and falsely claimed that they came to reinforce the city on orders from Lu Ziming to consolidate the city defense.

.”

"The city gate was deceived and opened!"

The words of Yijiji fell.

Han Dang also quickly informed the cause and effect.

After hearing this, Lu Su's expression dimmed for a moment, and he sighed repeatedly: "Alas, our army has fallen into a passive situation strategically in this battle!"

"The war situation is not favorable to our army. This battle may be lost!"

For a time, as the top strategist, he could naturally understand what kind of dilemma his army would face if Linxiang fell.

Seeing that Governor Lu Su suddenly became extremely pessimistic at this moment, Han Dang looked puzzled for a moment, and then said loudly:

"Captain, why are you sighing?"

"It doesn't matter if the enemy army attacks Linxiang. Once the morale of Lu Ziming's troops recovers, they can just send troops."

"But the Jingzhou Army will not give our army such time."

I heard that Han Dang was thinking in an idealistic way, but Lu Su responded in a very realistic way.

"Now the connection between our department and Ziming's department has been completely severed."

"His troops have been locked up in Guiyang. If the Jingnan counties are recaptured, Lu Ziming will have no choice but to retreat towards Cangwu County and join forces with Bu Zhao."

"By then, the main force of our army will be locked up in the Lingnan area."

"Such a situation will be extremely detrimental to our army!"

Lu Su looked extremely serious at this time.

Han Dang had no doubts at this moment. He knew that maybe the situation would be worse than what he said.

Then he raised his hands and asked: "Commander, how will our army make a decision next?"

"The only way is to seek a peaceful solution through diplomacy with the Jingzhou Army."

"At least this time, our army's plan to occupy Jingnan has come to nothing!"

And with the news that Linxiang City, the capital of Changsha County, has been lost.

Next, it also fermented rapidly, and then spread throughout the country.

Linxiang is defeated!

Ling Tong, who was fully guarding against the Jingzhou Army in Luoxian County, was also deeply afraid of being attacked from two sides.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately led his troops to withdraw from Luo County overnight and rushed to the Yiyang camp!

After the two armies have converged.

Lu Su's tribe only had more than 10,000 people.

The strength of the troops was far inferior to the main force of Guan Yu's army.

He was worried that he would be surrounded by the Jingzhou Army later.

He immediately took the opportunity to evacuate the Yiyang camp with his troops, and quickly retreated from Dongting Lake to the Xiangjiang River to Lukou.

All of a sudden.
Chapter completed!
