"General! When are we going to take action?" An officer pulled Xu Sheng's cuffs in front, looked at the city wall in the distance that didn't seem to be high, and asked anxiously: "Brothers have been here for three or four days.
Got it!"
Xu Sheng turned around and glared at his subordinates, but did not blame him too much. Instead, he turned back and continued to look at the small town of Linchuan not far away. Originally, according to the lord's military order, they were going to capture Linchuan by force this time.
Sichuan, and then continued westward to Changsha, forcing Yuzhang's defenders to retreat, and finally occupied the entire Jiangdong!
This plan was formulated by Master Zhou, the young master’s sworn brother. To be honest, at the beginning, Xu Sheng was not very at ease with the pretty boy who was about the same age as himself, but after passing by Wu Jun
After the easy victory in the two battles with Kuaiji, Xu Sheng and a group of Jiangdong Army generals were convinced of Zhou Yu's resourcefulness! This time coming to Sichuan, Xu Sheng originally thought it would be a piece of cake. After all, the main force of the Jingzhou Army was concentrated in Henan.
Zhang, I definitely didn’t expect that they would attack Linchuan. But for some reason, looking at Linchuan’s weak and even somewhat broken city walls, Xu Sheng felt unsure for the first time! So since three days
After arriving at Linchuan City, Xu Sheng was not in a hurry to launch an attack. Instead, he led his soldiers and horses to hide in a small forest outside Linchuan City.
"General!" Seeing Xu Sheng, he was stunned again. The deputy general behind him could not help but remind him again, "If you don't take action, I'm afraid General Chen and General Dong will not be able to hold you back!" In order to ensure that Xu Sheng
In response to the success of this operation, Chen Wu and Dong Xi specially brought some miscellaneous soldiers provided by Jiangdong families and pretended to be the real Jiangdong army to Yuzhang and Pengze. The purpose was to hold back the defenders of Yuzhang City and let them go to Yuzhang City.
Jingzhou General Gan Ning did not dare to leave! However, the reputation of the Jingzhou Yongzhi Army was well known to the world, and everyone in the Jiangdong Army knew that the miscellaneous troops of the Jiangdong Family alone would not be able to hold Gan Ning back for too long!
Of course, Xu Sheng knew this very well. Now that the arrow was on the string, Xu Sheng was not allowed to delay the fight because of this illusory and unfounded feeling. Xu Sheng took a deep breath and whispered to the lieutenant behind him: "Send the order."
!The whole army is preparing to attack the city!"
When I finally heard Xu Sheng issued the military order, the lieutenant general responded with excitement and clasped his fists, then turned around to carry out the military order. After staying in the woods for three days and feeding mosquitoes every day, this feeling is not good!
There were two thousand troops who followed Xu Sheng to attack Linchuan for the first time. However, most of these troops were recruits recruited by Sun Jian in Yangzhou. However, the real Jiangdong Army did not follow Sun Jian in his southern and northern campaigns.
He is personally leading the battle against Yuan Shu in Yuzhou!
However, even with these two thousand recruits, there should be no problem in taking over Linchuan City. According to previous intelligence, there are only two to three hundred defenders in Linchuan City, and there are no powerful garrison guards.
Sun Jian sent Xu Sheng with these two thousand recruits. Speaking of which, he also hoped to use these few actual battles to train these recruits! It can be said that no one in Sun Jian's account from top to bottom would think that this attack was imminent.
What accident will happen in Sichuan!
Soon, two thousand soldiers and horses, led by Xu Sheng, drove out of the grove and rushed towards Linchuan City in front. Since he was determined to attack the city, Xu Sheng would not give the defenders of Linchuan City any help.
It took time to prepare, and things seemed to be progressing according to Xu Sheng's plan. There were originally a few soldiers guarding the gate of Linchuan City, but when they saw the sudden appearance of Jiangdong Army, they all dropped their weapons and ran into the city.
!I don’t know if they were too panicked, but those soldiers even forgot to close the city gate. This was a great advantage to Xu Sheng! Xu Sheng shouted to the Jiangdong Army officers behind him with a face full of joy: "
Rush into the city in one breath! Kill!"
"Kill!" With Xu Sheng taking the lead, the Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers who had been holding back in the grove for three days and three nights were also morale-boosted. They roared and followed Xu Sheng and rushed towards the gate of Linchuan City.
Without any accidents, more than two thousand Jiangdong troops rushed into Linchuan City smoothly! Xu Sheng, who was the first to rush into the city, took the lead and rushed towards the center of the city in one breath. According to Xu
Sheng's idea was that since the enemy was so frightened that they didn't even care about the city gate, he would simply capture the city guard's mansion, and Linchuan would be taken!
"That's not right!" Xu Sheng, who had rushed through several streets, suddenly changed his expression. The ominous feeling that had been hovering in his heart from the beginning became more and more powerful at this moment. He took the reins and pulled hard, and the mount was neatly lifted.
After stopping, Xu Sheng looked around, and the two thousand Jiangdong Army behind him had all rushed into the city, like a dense net, covering the originally small Linchuan City.
Get up!
The current situation is very good, but Xu Sheng still sees the problem! Residents! Yes! That’s the residents! Although Linchuan City is not a big town, there are at least thousands of people in the city, and Xu Sheng
Sheng's attack this time was completely sudden. It stands to reason that in such broad daylight, the city should be full of people running in panic! But now Xu Sheng looked around and saw that there was not even a single person in the entire city!
"Is it not good? Retreat! Get out of the city!" Xu Sheng suddenly thought of something, his face suddenly turned pale, he hurriedly turned his horse's head, and shouted at his subordinates who were just rushing forward.
It's a pity that it was too late for Xu Sheng to understand the reason! Just as Xu Sheng's shouts rang out, loud bangs were heard from the south and north, and Xu Sheng's army rushed into the city.
It was heard from the east! Such a loud noise immediately calmed down the Jiangdong Army soldiers who were originally extremely excited. Everyone looked in the three directions of the sound with frightened faces.
I saw billowing dust and smoke rising from the city gates in the three directions, southeast and north, which made Xu Sheng and the soldiers of Jiangdong Army feel chilled. But when the dust and smoke gradually dissipated, Xu Sheng's heart became even more intense.
It fell to the bottom step by step! For some reason, the city gates in these three directions all collapsed! Those collapsed city walls blocked the city entrance tightly, which was equivalent to blocking all the roads out of the city.
! And Xu Sheng turned his head and looked at the only silent city in the west, his face was so ugly!
By now, Xu Sheng certainly knew that he had fallen into a trap! Although he didn't know what happened when the enemy fell to the ground, which could actually make the city gate collapse in an instant, but Xu Sheng didn't have the time to worry about it now.
The only way out is to rush out from the west gate of the city! However, if Xu Sheng guessed correctly, what will greet him outside the west gate of the city will be an ambush by the Jingzhou Army! But now Xu Sheng is helpless.
There is no way to go, if you stay here, you will only die! Xu Sheng bit the bullet and shouted to the panicked subordinates behind him: "Don't panic! As long as you rush out, you will be fine! Everyone follow me! Rush out!
"
Don't mention it, although Xu Sheng's words were half true and half false, they really had some effect. After hearing these words, the panic-stricken soldiers finally calmed down a little, slowly moved closer to Xu Sheng's back, and formed a formation again.
Military formation. But Xu Sheng no longer delayed at this time, and rushed towards the west of the city!
With extreme uneasiness, Xu Sheng rushed out of the city gate first, but before Xu Sheng could clearly see the situation outside the city, he suddenly felt as if he sat down and the world suddenly turned upside down!
"Not good!" Xu Sheng was shocked, and his first reaction was to guess that he had fallen into a trap! Fortunately, Xu Sheng was not an ordinary person. He pressed his hands hard on the back of the horse he was sitting on, and he was directly lifted from the horse.
He jumped up on his back, and the whole person jumped out of the trap! The poor war horse was pushed down by Xu Sheng and fell heavily, leaving only a sad neighing sound!
He jumped up and realized that he had landed on the edge next to the trap. Xu Sheng was relieved a little. He turned around and looked behind him, and saw that Xu Sheng's back was filled with chills!
At this moment, Xu Sheng had jumped outside the city, and at the city gate behind him, there was a long and narrow trench! This trench was more than ten feet wide, but more than ten feet deep! At the bottom of the trench, it was covered with
The upside-down wooden stakes. The war horse that Xu Sheng had used as a scapegoat was now stuck on two or three of the wooden stakes, and was still shaking!
Seeing this deadly trap, Xu Sheng hurriedly shouted to the soldiers who were about to rush out from the city gate: "Stop! Stop! Be careful of the trap!"
It's just that those Jiangdong Army soldiers were anxious to escape, so few heard Xu Sheng's exclamation. A few did hear Xu Sheng's shouts, but even if they wanted to stop, they could not.
But the soldiers behind them didn't stop! In the blink of an eye, hundreds of soldiers fell into the trench and hung directly on those wooden stakes! Fortunately, the wooden stakes passed through,
The death was straightforward, but the unlucky ones had their hands, feet or stomach pierced by wooden stakes. However, they could not die for a while. They could only endure the heartbreaking pain and let out shrill screams!
Hearing the screams and watching the tragic scenes in the trench, Xu Sheng's scalp went numb for a while! At the gate of the city, the Jiangdong Army soldiers finally stopped their momentum of rushing forward.
, but at this time, two to three hundred people had died tragically in the trench! The corpses on the wooden piles were just like skewers of barbecue, which was shocking!
Xu Sheng took a deep breath and forced himself not to look into the trench. Instead, he shouted to his subordinates at the city gate: "Be careful, don't be anxious, jump over one by one! The trench is not wide! You should be able to jump over!"
