This was the first time Meng Jian encountered this kind of thing, but he still knew how to deal with it without any hesitation. Meng Jian shouted loudly.
"Promise." One of the guards agreed and immediately went down to deliver the order.
"Dong dong dong."[
The sound of drums, like thunder, suddenly sounded. The sound of drums was like a signal before a battle. The archers unloaded their arrows and stared straight ahead.
The soldiers responsible for throwing down rolling stones, logs, boiling oil and other defensive equipment were also extremely ready, waiting for the war to break out.
Meng Jian led the escort and quickly returned to the front of the city gate tower from the east of the city gate tower.
"Xiangyang City is a city of the Han Dynasty. It is a city that the emperor entrusted to General Lu to take charge of. It must not be given to outsiders. Even if you die with your head and body, you will be burned together."
Arriving at the city gate tower, Meng Jian took a deep breath, angrily drew out the long sword from his waist, and roared.
"To live and die with Xiangyang City."
The soldiers held back their breath, then burst out and roared.
A tragic momentum shot straight into the sky.
Since Lu Su informed Xiangyang, although there has not been much prosperity, the city is in order, and because of the participation of the three elders, it is quite popular.
Huang Zhong commanded the army with great rigor. Because Lu Su was adept at martial arts, the status of his soldiers was also greatly improved.
The soldiers didn't know what it was like on the other side of Jiangdong. They only knew that after following Huang Zhong, they gained status and attention, and they were willing to defend the city.
"Hahahaha, courage is commendable, but I want you to know. In this world, courage alone cannot withstand absolute power."
Zuo Sima under Zhou Yu's tent laughed heartily.
"It's stupid to use a mantis' arm as a chariot." You Sima snorted coldly, quite disdainfully.
As another saying goes, dogs that bite usually don't bark. The more cheerful the barking dog, the more useless it is. And they are obviously experts in the former, killing people and conquering cities and territories.
Under Zhou Yu's command, he was unrivaled and rampaged across the south.
And what about Xiangyang? The generals are outside and the literati are guarding the city. Hum. No matter how tall the city is, it is still a paper tiger that is strong on the outside and can be broken by one poke.
Seeing the arrogance of the Sima on his left and right, Zhou Yu smiled slightly but did not stop him. As the commander-in-chief, Zhou Yu could not be arrogant or blindly confident.
You must remain calm at all times and do not underestimate your opponent.[
But the generals under his command are different. The more arrogant and brave they are, the better. Because such people are less afraid of death and more brave and good at fighting.
"Okay, as you wish, Xiangyang will be destroyed." Zhou Yu drew out his long sword and shouted.
Although Zhou Yu was physically weak, his roar was so domineering that it could be heard everywhere.
"kill."
A roar of killing followed.
But Zhou Yu's expression changed wildly, and the generals and soldiers were also stunned, with expressions as if they had seen a ghost, because they had not responded yet.
The sound came from behind them.
"Make a round formation and slowly retreat to the east." Zhou Yu's face changed wildly and he let out a loud roar. It came from the rear. It came from the rear.
That fierce momentum is definitely not some kind of reinforcements from Jingchu. If it is not reinforcements, it is the enemy army. Enemy army? There is only one enemy army in the south, and that is Huang Zhong's army.
That's right, Huang Zhong showed up.
After experiencing a defeat, Zhou Yu was not discouraged. Because the combat effectiveness of Zhou Yu's army was the best in the south, and because there were no generals guarding Xiangyang City.
Zhou Yu's determination to capture Xiangyang was huge, and his confidence was equally huge.
It was believed that in just a few days of conquest, Xiangyang City would become part of Jiangdong and become a stepping stone for Wu Hou Sun Ce to achieve hegemony.
This is confidence, not arrogance.
But at this time Huang Zhong appeared, and it was not the right time. It was like a man who got a wife drunk, and when he wanted to have sex with a ferocious smile, he found that the wife's husband had killed him, and the husband was also burly and unusual, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Discoloration.
All of a sudden, the man's legs became weak, and the thing under his crotch was so soft that he was almost impotent.
Zhou Yu was in that situation at this moment.
It was expected that Xiangyang would not be bullied without a general guarding it, but the general came back to kill him.
