"Liu Xiu, the thief, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the common man, are really not the sons of man!" Standing on the city wall, looking at the fire that was about to expand in the city, Yue Fei punched the city wall with a heavy fist and said angrily.
"Command Li Cunxiao, Li Cunxu, Huang Feihu, Huang Tianxiang..." Yue Fei directly named a dozen generals before he opened his mouth.
"Order them to leave the city immediately towards the north gate and lead the cavalry around Jiangling City to support Chang Yuchun's troops." Yue Fei gave the order seriously, "In addition, order Li Cunxiao to ride alone first, and Huang Feihu...".
"Send orders to Yu Qian, Xie Xuan, Sun An, Tan Zhi, Du Yu... and order them to lead the infantry to go to various places to control the fire immediately, and be sure not to allow the fire to expand!" Yue Fei continued to give the order in a deep voice.
The fire between Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Xiu was indeed bound to involve a large number of Jin army's troops, and at the same time, it blocked the Jin army's pursuit.
However, the road within Jiangling City was indeed blocked by the fire, but the fire is now only within Jiangling City and does not affect the situation outside Jiangling City at all. It is impossible to walk inside the city, but it does not mean that it is impossible to pass outside the city.
.
Therefore, Yue Fei directly asked Li Cunxiao, Li Cunxu and others to temporarily withdraw from Jiangling, bypass Jiangling City, and go to the south gate where Liu Xiu broke out.
What's more, there is Chang Yuchun's army in the direction of the south gate. How could they easily escape? They really thought that the Jin army was a vegetarian and they really didn't make the slightest preparation in advance.
Yue Fei was filled with righteous indignation because of this fire. Yue Fei disdained this method. After all, if this method is not controlled well, it will harm the names of the people of the city.
Yue Fei was good at using military tactics and tactics, and he dared to fight tough battles, but he would not easily risk the lives of so many people for this purpose.
However, Zhang Liangke next to Yue Fei was completely different. Although he looked expressionless on the surface, looking at the fire spreading faintly around the city, he began to appreciate Liu Xiu and Zhu Yuanzhang more and more.
.
Cruel enough! Decisive enough! Courageous! And scheming! Regardless of whether Zhu Yuanzhang or Liu Xiuzhong set this fire, the person who set this fire is undoubtedly a wise man!
Fortunately, he has already worshiped the Lord at this time, and his Lord has now reached the full level, and is no worse than any other prince in the world in all aspects.
Just like this time, Li Xiang seemed to be sitting at the rear and did not visit the front line in person. But without Li Xiang's secret intervention, this battle would not have reached this point so quickly.
Without Li Xiang's strategizing, decisive victory thousands of miles away, and luring Xiang Yu into the scene in time, it would be difficult to achieve a critical victory like the original Battle of Jiangxia.
If Zhang Liang was still ownerless at this time, he might really go and experience the rule of this prince.
With just such a method, a large number of Jin soldiers were dragged into Jiangling City, unable to participate in the pursuit!
Moreover, Zhang Liang had observed it carefully. The fire looked fierce on the surface. If the Jin army ignored it, Jiangling City would be gone. But how could the Jin army ignore it?
Therefore, on the surface, it seems that he is preparing to catch up with the people in this city, but in fact, it is just a near miss, and he has grasped all aspects very well.
"Eh!" Zhang Liang couldn't help but let out a soft sigh as he kept looking around at the direction of the fire. Yue Fei beside him was still busy mobilizing all his troops to control the fire, and he really didn't notice the sound Zhang Liang made.
Constantly observing the fire spots around him, Zhang Liang suddenly noticed something out of the ordinary.
Most of these fire locations are in important places such as armories and granaries, or in open areas far away from where residents are concentrated. Even if the fire continues to spread, as long as it is controlled in time, it will not pose a threat.
the people in the city.
However, there are also a small number of them who are not so particular. The people around the fire sites are bound to suffer. Even if the Jin army wants to control the fire in time, it will take a certain amount of time.
People around the place where the fire is set are bound to suffer heavy casualties.
Zhang Liang had a vague feeling that this fire might not have come from one person. It seemed that the problem between Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Xiu was bigger than he had previously expected.
……………………
South City Gate.
At this moment, it can be said that there is an elite cloud gathering here, a coalition of three princes, and the remaining powerful generals are all gathered here at this moment, eagerly preparing to launch the final charge.
Today, they can only get a chance to survive by breaking through the obstacles in front of them. If they cannot break through the obstacles in front of them, then everything is meaningless.
Under Liu Xiu's command: Deng Xia, Chen Dao, Wang Ba, Wan Xiu, Pi Tong, Liu Zhi, Huo Jun...
Under Zhu Yuanzhang: Zhu Di, Lu Er, Ao Moang, Ning Bobiao, Yu Jinbiao, Shi Dakai, Hu Qiang, Yingbu, Wang Yanzhang, Wang Yantong, Wang Qingji, Zhu Muying, Zhu Gang...
Yang Su's side: Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Meng Huo, Yang Shuang, Yang Zhong, Yao Chang, Fu Pi...
Until now, the remaining lineup of the coalition forces is still arrogant. Although it is not as good as the entire Jin army lineup in northern Jingbei, if it only faces Chang Yuchun, I am afraid it can go far.
exceed.
Even in terms of the configuration of generals, with Chang Yuchun's lineup, the coalition forces can already crush them.
No matter in terms of the configuration of powerful generals or commanders, the strength in Chang Yuchun's hand cannot be compared with the lineup of these three princes' coalition forces.
"Pa!" There was a loud noise, and the city gate that had been closed was opened.
Outside the city, the soldiers of the Jin army were still struggling to attack the city. Although they didn't know what was happening, the city gate had been opened at this time. These people would not let go of this great opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and rushed towards the city gate.
surge away.
"Kill...!" Several low voices sounded in succession, and with the most courageous generals of the coalition forces at the forefront, a large number of coalition forces rushed out of the city.
The Jin troops who had just rushed to the city gate full of joy were killed by the coalition troops who poured out of the city gate in almost an instant.
"Don't worry about them, keep charging out!" Zhu Di slashed a soldier with his sword and shouted at Lu Er who was at the front.
Their most important goal now is to rush out, there is no need to insist on entangled with these Jin troops.
Moreover, after looking into the distance, Zhu Di let out a wry smile again. Sure enough, if they wanted to truly break out, they would have to fight another tough battle. It seemed that the enemy was probably prepared for this scene.
