Zhang Liao was not wrong, the key is Jiangling.
The battle in Jiangling City is even more tragic than the most exaggerated imagination of the people outside the city.
Before Guan Yu appeared, Lei Yuan mobilized all mobile forces to prepare for the most violent and last attack.
Whether the soldiers were injured or not, as long as they could still stand in front of them. Why did the generals and soldiers disperse the leaders and sergeants, and they combined with the temporary soldiers in the city with weapons. Although the knights brought into the city were greatly damaged, Ma Dai, Li Zhen and others were still there, and they brought their own war horses. Chi Li Ningta was still unavailable.
At this time, news that Guan Yu arrived and set fire to Jiangjin Port reached.
Lei Yuan was stunned for a moment, first looking at the dyed sky, and then looking at the people around him.
The people around were as stunned as Lei Yuan, and everyone stood silently for a while.
Then everyone reacted. Every place where Lei Yuan's vision was reached, every defender and every citizen in Jiangling City were cheering. They jumped, jumped, waved the weapons in their hands, and shouted with all their might: "General Guan is back! General Guan also sent fire boats to burn the fleet of Jiangdong people!"
What is a post-production? That’s it!
With General Guan coming, will the main force of the Jingzhou Army be far away? With the main force of the Jingzhou Army, there is nothing to worry about in the military and civilians in Jiangling City!
What does it mean to close the door and beat a dog? That's it!
Under the deep night, the flames illuminated the sky, the chaotic sounds in the direction of Jiangjin Port were clearly visible, and the smoke passed through several miles and slowly descended into the city. Although I did not see the fire scene with my own eyes, everyone thought to myself: What a fire! It must be a fire! It must be a fire that can destroy the Jiangdong fleet!
As a result, a fire broke out in everyone's heart, which made the originally exhausted limbs have strength again!
Lei Yuan could not suppress the joy in his heart, but he knew that the battle to win had only begun now!
At this time, he suppressed the blood vessels on his forehead and jumped around, not caring about the continuous bleeding in the wound on his legs, and jumped onto a dirt platform.
He shouted to the soldiers with all his might: "I heard from the ancients that I am not accusing the thief, but a son is not accusing his son. Now, Jiangdong's back attacks and attacks our Jingzhou are rioters. We are ministers, and we have the duty to fight the thief to the death! The people of Jiangdong even killed my elders and captured my relatives and family members. This is the duty to avenge my family! As sons, we have the duty to avenge our family members! At this moment, General Guan has arrived, and the Jiangdong people's retreat, Jiangjin Port, was also burned! This is the time for us to fight the thief and revenge!"
Lei Yuan waved his sword and shouted: "Everyone, I wish to follow me and Wu Zhe to die. Please take a step forward!"
The steps roared, and all the soldiers took a step forward in unison.
Lei Yuan jumped off the platform and stood in front of the soldiers' formation. The two armies fought fiercely in the city for a long time, and had turned the north-south road of Jiangling City into a sea of ​​corpses and blood, which was shocking to see.
At this time, there is no need to arrange tactics or indicate the direction of progress. Everyone knows that the target is at the end of the road, and the direction of Jiangling South Gate is the head of Wu's general Lu Meng!
Lei Yuan shouted in the queue: "Kill the thief and take revenge!"
Li Zhen and other close soldiers shouted: "Kill the thief and take revenge!"
Lei Yuan waved to the sky with his sword: "Kill the thief and take revenge!"
The troops responded in unison: "Kill the thief and take revenge!"
The voices of thousands of soldiers gathered together, rumbling and rolling in Jiangling City, like a sudden thunder.
Lei Yuan held the sword and shouted again: "Kill the thief and take revenge!"
From far and near, no matter the city, walls, military camps, streets, soldiers, strong men, people, women and children shouted in unison: "Kill the thief! Revenge!"
The soldiers made great strides.
Their shouts came into the shouts of countless people, like thunder roaring, resounding through Jiangling and shaking everywhere.
Seeing the enemy's momentum rising, the morale of the Wu army fell more and more.
A soldier from Wu was inspired by the Wu Hou to the battlefield before, and tried his best to move forward bravely and kill many enemies. At this moment, he retreated in panic with his companions.
The soldier asked what he was around him at a loss: "Have you heard that? Guan Yu is here, and there is still a fire in Jiangjin Port... When will you wait for reinforcements? What should I do next? The whole Qu people are almost finished fighting! What should I do?"
The next moment, the tide of the defenders' counterattack swept over. Arrows shot like rain, and swords and guns were raised together. A Jingzhou soldier jumped forward and slashed the head of the Wu army soldier. Then he grabbed his hair and raised it high, allowing warm blood to flow on his body. He shouted loudly: "Kill the thief! Revenge!"
The soldiers of Jingzhou ran wildly like a tide, rushing along the road towards Jiangling South Gate. The Wu army tried to hinder along the way, but it was like using pebbles to stop the huge waves, which was ineffective.
Ling Tong had a bad fight before, and he was retreating to rest for a while. Under such a might, he couldn't help but be shocked and waver. He seemed to suddenly understand that it was impossible to seize Jiangling.
So he suddenly felt tired and felt the pain of many injuries on his body. He subconsciously opened his mouth, but the words he said were: "This Lujiang Leiyuan is truly the strong enemy of Jiangdong."
Lu Meng rushed up the city tower at the south gate of Jiangling, looking out for a while in the direction of Jiangjin Port.
When will the reinforcements be waited for? The soldiers are asking this question, and he also wants to ask.
This place is not far from Jiangjin Port, but it is already dark after all, and because of the fireworks, I can't see the specific situation in the port clearly.
Looking at the left and right, the soldiers all looked scared, and the soldiers were also trembling and panic. Lu Meng made a quick decision and pointed at the four Simas of the Assistant Army under the city: "Li Bo! Tao Jie! Mai Ze! Liu Zuo!"
Four people were out of the line with armor.
"A fire broke out in Jiangjin Port, Guan Yu arrived again. Our army fought for a long time, and morale was exhausted. Although reinforcements will arrive sooner or later, the two sides are in a stalemate at this time. Those who retreat first will collapse... Li Bo! Tao Jie! You two lead a hundred soldiers to supervise the battle. Those who fail to get the general order will be killed! Maize! You lead the headquarters out of the city and return to the military camp first and urge the soldiers to prepare for response!"
Lu Meng is definitely a veteran on the battlefield. The decision made in an instant not only took into account the situation ahead, but also took into account the way forward. Then he pointed to the last Sima: "Liu Zuo, you bring a hundred soldiers and protect Duke Chengming!"
Liu Zuo stood behind Pan Jun in response and stared at him. He also moved closer to Pan Jun.
Pan Jun's subordinates were all very humiliated and pressed their hands on the handle of the knife.
Lu Meng slowed down his tone: "Duke Chengming, the soldiers are fierce and the war is dangerous, and the sword is eyeless... This is just protection."
Pan Jun has never been a good person to talk, but now he nodded reluctantly: "That's fine."
Lu Meng nodded slightly and arranged for successive battles to the city, without saying anything more.
The war was urgent at this time, and Lu Meng did not notice Pan Jun's face turned blue.
When the fire broke out at Jiangjin Port, Pan Jun immediately remembered what Fei Guan said before his death. At that time, Fei Guan privately consulted Pan Jun and said that he and Guan Yu secretly set up a team of people and thirty fireboats in the port of Jiangjin Port, intending to burn the Jiangdong fleet when necessary. However, before this matter was launched, Pan Jun suddenly tried to kill Fei Guan.
For more than an hour later, Pan Jun was busy cooperating with Lu Meng to surrender the local wealthy family in Jiangling, but he did not have time to talk about this.
Pan Jun thought that this matter was so confidential, only Guan Yu and Fei Guan knew that Fei Guan was dead, and Guan Yu was blocked by the Wu army in northern Jingzhou, so he could not easily return. Therefore, Pan Jun intended to hide it a little, intending to use it as a topic of conversation when meeting Wu Hou in the future.
Who would have expected that Guan Yu would be back so soon?
The people of Jiangdong invested huge forces to detect Guan Yu's movements. Pan Jun estimated that Lu Meng must be aware of this. But Lu Meng did not mention it at all, probably because he was afraid that Pan Jun would be shaken by this.
So Pan Jun was unable to reveal Fei Guan’s arrangement to Jiangdong’s partners. So Guan Yu launched a fire attack!
This...Is this considered that I cheated the Jiangdong people? What should I do next? Pan Jun was both angry and confused.
After a while, he calmed down and said to his entourages around him: "Go and call Xiahou Cheng, Shi Gan, Zhou He and the others. You can't look back at this time!"
The entourages all said to obey the order.
They also knew in their hearts that the clan leaders who had promised to cooperate with Pan Jun were now unknown where they had been avoided. And the backbone figures, including Pan Jun, wanted to look forward to it, but they were afraid they would not have a chance.
But, no matter how firm they are, what's the use?
After witnessing this battle in Jiangling City, not to mention what Pan Jun thought, the entourages no longer thought that they could gain a foothold in this fierce confrontation. Just as Pan Jun asked for nothing was nothing but a future, what the entourages asked for was also a glory and wealth rather than a death!
Maybe, everyone should think about the way out?
