Outside the city of Chaisang, the commander of the Feilong Guard, Zhao Yun, was standing under the city of Chaisang with two thousand Feilong Guards. At this time, the two thousand Feilong Guards looked like soldiers from Jiangdong, and the soldiers of the Feilong Guards were wearing Jiangdong soldiers.
If no one reminded the horse's military uniform and armor, no one would recognize that these people were Feilong Guards from Jingzhou.
Even Zhao Yun, who was in the front, took off his white armor that had not left his body and replaced it with the armor worn by Jiangdong generals.
Zhao Yun, who was standing under the city, looked up at the heavily guarded Chaisang City on the city wall, narrowing his eyes slightly. There were more soldiers and horses in Chaisang City than he had imagined, just the guards on the city wall.
There are far more than usual. The Feilong Guard under Zhao Yun is not unfamiliar with Chaisang. The sound of the city wall in Chaisang City usually has at most fifty people on duty, but now there are indeed two hundred people, which are usually four people.
Time.
However, it was understandable that Jiangdong had all the food and grass for 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong were stored in Chaisang City, and Jiangdong did this. What really made Zhao Yun worried was that Huang Gai, the general of Jiangdong who was inquiring about Jiangdong, was in this Chaisang City.
Huang Gai is a veteran of Jiangdong, and even Zhao Yun has to be cautious.
Thinking of the plan to remove firewood from the cauldron above the bamboo slips, Zhao Yun took a deep breath and waited quietly.
Soon, a general in his forties came to the city tower, surrounded by more than ten soldiers and arrived on the city tower, which was Huang Gai, the general of Jiangdong.
Huang Gai looked at Zhao Yun and others under the city with a majestic look on his face. Just now, he received a report from his soldiers under his command, saying that two thousand Jiangdong guards came to Chaisang to escort the catapult cart outside the city. Huang heard the news.
Naturally, Gai would not neglect, so he immediately rushed over with more than a dozen personal soldiers.
The personal guards have always been Sun Ce's personal commander, even Huang Gai rarely sees them, so Huang Gai is also wary of the personal guards outside the city. The personal guards are Sun Ce's personal troops, how could they come to escort the catapult cart.
?
Looking at the personal guards outside the city, Huang Gai felt awesome. He had long heard that the personal guards were the most elite soldiers in Jiangdong, but he was still a little surprised when he saw them today. Although the two thousand soldiers and horses under the city stood there casually,
But that strictness actually forced him to be cautious.
However, there were 20,000 Jiangdong soldiers in Chaisang City, so Huang Gai didn't care much about the personal guards outside the city. Even if he was pretending to be a Jingzhou soldiers, he could block these people outside the city.
If it were someone else, he might have to lead his troops out of the city to check, but Huang Gai was cautious and orderly in leading his troops and would not be careless because of the large number of people.
"Who is the one under the city? What's the price for Chaisang?" Huang Gai shouted to Zhao Yun and others under the city.
"The last general Zhao Yu has seen General Huang, and the last general comes to Chaisang to escort the catapult cart at the order of the Grand Governor." Zhao Yun squinted his eyes and looked at Huang Gai, and shouted loudly.
At this time, the sky had just gotten dark, and I could only see the figures on the city tower. Fortunately, there were many torches on the city tower that allowed Zhao Yun to see clearly who Huang Gai was. Huang Gai had a short beard and a face with a Chinese font.
It was full of majesty, and with thick armor, a strong aura was revealed, making the soldiers around him dare not approach.
"Zhao Yu? When did such a powerful young general appear in the personal guard?" Huang Gai looked at Zhao Yun under the city, with some confusion in his heart. Although he didn't see Zhao Yun's face very clearly, this person sat upright.
The momentum of the horse cannot be underestimated. Look at the two thousand personal guards behind this man, each of them sitting high on the horse holding torches in his hands without any impatience to the conversation between him and Zhao Yun.
"No, if these people are pretending to be soldiers in Jingzhou, they must not be put into the city." Huang Gai glanced at the soldiers outside the city with just a glance, and at the same time he was even more alert.
"Is there any official article?" Huang Gai stared at Zhao Yun and asked.
"Natural." Zhao Yun took out a bamboo slip from his arms and said to Huang Gai on the city tower: "General Huang also asked to put down the hanging basket. This is the official document approved by the Grand Governor himself. Please also ask General Huang to identify it."
"General Zhao wait."
Huang Gai looked at the personal soldiers behind him and said, "Put down the hanging basket immediately."
"No." A personal soldier ran away immediately, and soon a small hanging basket that was only one meter in radius was put down.
Zhao Yun urged him to put the bamboo slips in his hand into the basket and waved to Huang Gai on the city tower. Most of Huang Gai's doubts were eliminated at this time. If the soldiers outside the city were really pretending to be Jingzhou soldiers, they would never be like this.
Calm, he is a person who often comes into contact with Zhou Yu and is very familiar with Zhou Yu's handwriting.
Since the people outside the city knew that they were so calm when they read Guanwen, they were probably the personal guards sent by Zhou Yu to escort the catapults, but everything would have to be confirmed after reading Guanwen.
After a while, Huang Gai had already received the bamboo slips handed over by Zhao Yun. When Huang Gai opened the bamboo slips, he saw Zhou Yu's name on the bamboo slips. He was free and handsome, and extremely agile. The two words Zhou Yu were vividly revealed on the paper as if he wanted to break free and take off.
Huang Gai is almost 100% sure that this is Zhou Yu's handwritten book.
"So that's it." Huang Gai looked at the contents of the official article again and understood what was going on. The meaning of the few words in the official article was very clear. Jiangdong soldiers were going to attack the city, but there were some in the city.
The Flying Dragon Army's usual siege equipment well railings and cloud ladders could not suppress the Flying Dragon Army at all.
Huang Gai has also fought with the Feilong Army and knows the style of the Feilong Army. If the Feilong Army seizes the city and guards even if it is ten times the soldiers of the Feilong Army, he will not be able to capture the city in a short time. Wenpin has always been
Huang Gai's great enemy, Huang Gai once suggested that Sun Ce send someone to assassinate Wen Pin several times. Although Sun Ce refused, Huang Gai never relaxed his vigilance towards Wen Pin.
After understanding the intention of the personal guards coming, Huang Gai no longer doubted and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Open the city gate!"
Soon, a rumbling sound rang out, the thick city gate slowly opened, and the suspension bridge that had been hanging slowly landed.
The city gate was opened, and Huang Gai led more than a dozen personal guards out of the city gate.
"The last general Zhao Yu met General Huang." Zhao Yun's city gate was very happy. He didn't expect that the military advisor's bamboo slips would really work. However, when he saw Huang Gai leaving the city gate, Zhao Yun felt nervous again. If it were Huang Gai, it was Huang Gai.
It would be bad if you see any clues.
"General Zhao is polite. How can you salute me if you are the general of the personal guard?" Huang Gai waved his hand. The generals from the personal guard were all proud. The people in front of him saluted him as soon as they saw him.
It made him feel a little happy.
"Haha, General Huang was joking. General Huang is the pride of my Jiangdong. When General Huang followed his lord to fight south and north, I was still a child. It should be Zhao Yu's visit to him in terms of emotion and reason."
He said to Huang Gai without being humble or arrogant.
"Haha, since that's the case, I won't be pretentious anymore. General Zhao asked to enter the city." Huang Gai saw Zhao Yu look up to Zhao Yu a little higher, laughed, and said as he turned around and walked towards the city with Zhao Yu.
"Thank you, General Huang." Zhao Yungong bowed and waved to the soldiers behind him to signal the two thousand personal guards behind him to follow him. However, Zhao Yun raised his vigilance in his heart. After all, he was not familiar with Jiangdong, so if he showed any flaws.
But that's bad.
"General Huang doesn't know how many catapults are in the city?" Zhao Yun asked casually while looking at the surrounding situation.
"Haha, there are currently fifteen catapults in the city." Huang Gai had a good impression of Zhao Yun and said with a smile and disregard.
"Only fifteen?" Zhao Yun was slightly surprised. He originally thought that the 100,000 troops in Jiangdong would have to bring at least thirty catapults.
"General Zhao, don't underestimate this catapult car. Each catapult car is expensive. It costs more than ten catapult cars to be built, but it costs 10,000 yuan. This ten thousand yuan is enough for the army to eat.
Last three months." Huang Gai thought Zhao Yun was busy with training all day and did not know the cost of the catapult.
"Oh, the Grand Governor asked us to transport ten catapults, one thousand people are enough. Finally, the soldiers under his command drove the way for a day, wanting them to rest in batches. I wonder if General Huang can arrange it?" Zhao Yun was in his heart.
One move.
"Of course. General Zhao is considerate of his subordinates and admires him." Huang Gai bowed to Zhao Yungong.
He could feel that the two thousand soldiers behind Zhao Yun were respectful to Zhao Yun, even he did not have this honor. Since Zhao Yun and others entered the city, these two thousand soldiers did not show any respect for him
, but when he looked at Zhao Yun, he was very convinced. Such a general was rare. He even had some thoughts. At that time, he would talk to Zhao Yun in front of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Such a general should not be unknown.
"Then thank General Huang." Zhao Yun turned his head and said to Feilongwei behind him, "Leave a thousand people to rest again, and you will be escorted to the catapult cart later."
"No." One thousand soldiers and horses were immediately separated from the two thousand flying dragon guards and stayed.
"This Zhao Yu is so delicate!" Huang Gai nodded in his heart when he saw Zhao Yun's arrangement. Since Zhou Yu ordered the personal guards to come back overnight to escort the catapult car, it must be Jiang Xia who was eager to use it. Zhao Yun divided the soldiers into two groups and took turns escorting them.
The catapult car will definitely be much faster.
Huang Gai looked at Zhao Yun and turned his head to instruct the personal soldiers behind him to prepare some meat and horse ingredients to bring them over. Huang Gai had a good impression of Zhao Yun and asked his subordinates to prepare meat. You must know that at this time the army was full of rice, even
I can't even eat vegetables, let alone meat. This meat can only be eaten once every few months. If Huang Gai hadn't seen Zhao Yun like him, he wouldn't have given him meat to Zhao Yun and others.
"Thank you, General Huang." Zhao Yun bowed and said, "I'll ask General Huang to lead General Mo to the storage of the catapult cart. The situation in Jiangxia is not optimistic, and General Mo dares not delay it."
"General Zhao, please." Huang Gai felt aggrieved in his heart. He also knew that Jiang Xia's situation was not as simple as it was on the surface. If it were Huang Zu, Jiangdong soldiers would have taken Jiang Xia in their possession, but now it is
Wenpin of the Feilong Army is stationed here, and it is said that the difficulty of defeating Jiang Xia is a sharp increase.
