Or the 170,000 Jiangdong navy led by Zhou Yu himself?!
Fu Tong picked up the messenger with one hand and asked, "Boy, did you run too fast and lost your mind?"
The messenger swallowed hard and then said: "No, no! There are also letters here. If you don't believe me, read it yourself!"
Fu Tong was not polite, reached out and started to pick it up from the arms of the messenger.
Sure enough, he caught a letter without picking it up twice, and then he strode forward and handed the letter to Pang Tong.
Time was tight and Pang Tong had no time to think carefully.
He just glanced at it twice and then directly ordered: "Pass my military order, put up more flags, leave three thousand soldiers to beat drums every hour and pretend to be ready for battle. The rest of the people, wait, follow me to retreat!"
The Jingzhou generals in the tent were all shocked. They all felt the urgency and unquestionability in Pang Tong's tone, so they all clasped their fists and said, "Here!"
...
Regarding the news that Lu Yan's navy had blocked the Han River, Cao Cao immediately sent it to Jia Xu.
Jia Xu actually received the news half a day earlier than Pang Tong.
Cao Cao himself led Cao Hong, Lu Lingqi's generals and 10,000 soldiers, and was heading to the Danshui front line at full speed.
Even if Pang Tong can run away, he must take off a layer of skin!
Jia Xu sent Zhang He, Gao Lan and 20,000 soldiers to attract Pang Tong's attention, but in fact, he secretly sent Wei Yan and other generals to sneak towards Xinye with an army of 10,000.
Wei Yan led an army of 10,000 people to rush all the way, and in less than a day they arrived fifty miles away from Xinye City. From Wancheng to Xinye, there was another better road than Bowang Slope, so their marching speed was very fast.
After arriving fifty miles away from Xinye City, Wei Yan stopped rushing on his way.
He ordered the army to stop and rest, and waited quietly for darkness to fall.
They waited until Haishi. The soldiers had already eaten and had enough rest. As soon as the hour came, Wei Yan ordered the army to move out!
Wei Yan's army, with their horses bound and hoofed, headed south and then east, taking a detour to the south of Xinye City.
Wei Yan is also a man with great ambitions and a proud heart.
Although he was highly appreciated and trusted by Cao Cao, he had been relying on Cao Cao for so many years and had no success except for the battle at Jiluoshan. How could he not be upset about this?
Moreover, Huang Zhong, the eldest brother who joined Cao Ying with him, is not only several levels higher than him in official position, but has now become a world-famous general. Wei Yan would be lying if he said he was not envious.
The guard of Xinye is Wang Wei, a veteran of Jingzhou. This man is extremely loyal and has good prestige in the army.
Although Xinye City is small, it is a strong city, and its location is extremely important. It is only a hundred miles away from Xiangyang, so Pang Tong specially handed over Xinye to Wang Weilai to guard it, hoping that he could delay Cao Jun's march south and win over Fancheng and Xiangyang.
More time to prepare.
There is no moat outside Xinye City, but the city wall is tall and strong. If it is attacked by force, Wei Yan's mixed soldiers of 10,000 steps and cavalry are simply not enough to see, so if you want to capture it, you can only find another way, such as a night attack!
The 10,000-strong army took a detour and could not move too fast because they needed to hide their whereabouts.
They walked for a mere fifty miles for nearly an hour, until they finally arrived outside the south gate of Xinye when they got to Chou.
Wei Yan ordered the army to stop five miles away for repairs. At the same time, he quietly led a dozen guards to the outside of Xinye City, trying to get a feel for the situation on the Xinye City Wall first.
Unfortunately, Xinye Castle was completely dark, and nothing could be seen except for the outline of a few patrollers on Sumo Lake.
Although the situation on the city wall cannot be clearly seen, it is also not easy for the Jingzhou soldiers on the city wall to detect the dark movements below the city.
After some observation, Wei Yan felt that he could take the risk.
So just after Yinshi, Wei Yan ordered 200 people to quietly touch up, and successfully touched the foot of the Xinye city wall, trying to climb the wall and open the city gate from the inside.
Taking out their powerful crossbows, the two hundred men began to load the crossbow arrows.
Looking carefully, the crossbow arrows they installed were not in the usual jagged or triangular shape, but had several barbs, and a rope as thick as a finger was tied to the tail of the arrow.
This hook-like arrow is a special equipment from the Shadow Guard.
Because it is simple to make and has a wide range of applications, it is generally equipped with some equipment in the army.
Two hundred people reloaded all the lost arrows.
When the patrol team walked away, the deputy general in charge of climbing the city wall gave an order. Immediately, two hundred people raised their crossbows and pointed them diagonally at the Xinye city wall at the same time, triggering the mechanism of the crossbows in their hands!
"Hoo ho!"
"Ding dong!"
As the crossbow whistled, the arrow flew onto the city wall and successfully hung on the notch between the walls.
At night, the crisp sound of gold and stone clashing sounded, but because there were not many patrols and they were far away, they did not realize that Cao Jun had already touched the city wall!
The deputy general threw away the crossbow and tried pulling the rope. He felt that his grip was very tight, so he waved his hand and took the lead in grabbing the rope and climbing up.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
The city wall of Xinye is made of bluestone, which is very strong but not very high.
A total of three feet, or about ten meters, of the city wall, two hundred carefully selected soldiers of Cao Cao, who were as light as swallows, easily climbed up along the hook ropes.
The deputy general grabbed the female wall and stomped into the wall. When he saw several sentries sleeping soundly under the nearby corner, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!
Fortunately, their series of actions did not wake up these lazy Jingzhou defenders.
After the deputy general stabilized his mind, he made a few gestures to the others, then gently came to the sleeping soldiers, grabbed their heads, and twisted them hard!
The sound of "Gaba!" rang several times in succession, and several Jingzhou defenders who were sleeping could finally have a long sleep...
Xinye's defense should not be so lax, and Wang Wei, as a veteran general, could not take it so lightly. All of this was actually because the morale of the Xinye defenders was low and they were slacking off.
The deputy general led the two hundred advance soldiers, hung the hook lock on the inner wall again, and dropped it to the ground along the city wall.
After landing, they quickly ran towards the city gate, trying to open the city wall and welcome Wei Yan's army into the city!
However, their luck cannot always be so good.
Just about ten meters away from the city gate, more and more patrols in the distance finally noticed the abnormality and shouted: "Who are you?!"
"It's the enemy!"
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
After the patrolling soldiers finished shouting, they quickly rushed towards them.
When the deputy general saw that he and others had been exposed, he sped up and rushed towards the city gate!
Fortunately, there were not many defenders at the city gate, only a dozen people, and it would take at least a few minutes for other reinforcements to arrive.
The patrol soldiers near the city gate came up with guns and killed them. The deputy general immediately stepped forward and stopped the guards with the first soldiers, and ordered: "Open the city gate and lead General Wei and his brothers into the city!" Your latest reading has been detected
