Huang Yueying was reciting, Zhou Tai didn't know what she was reciting, and always wanted to know the answer.
Huang Yueying said to Ma Dazhong: "Tell Ma Xiaozhong that he must hold on for two days. Within two days, Dongcheng must not be lost."
"But he said he can hold on for at least half a day." Ma Dazhong said.
"Divide troops from Beicheng."
"Then Beicheng will be lost." Ma Dazhong said anxiously. Although Zhou Yu and Cai Mao were restraining each other and unable to attack effectively, they still had an army of 40,000. Ma Dazhong would rather sacrifice Ma Xiaozhong than lose his own defense line.
Ma Dazhong said: "Military advisor, please send the young men and women in the city to fill the void in the east city. If we don't use them, it will be too late."
Ma Dazhong didn't understand why Huang Yueying hid those young men. He didn't even know where she hid those people. Except for a small number of people who carried equipment and food and who monitored the family, they were useless.
I originally thought that Huang Yueying would stay until the last minute, but isn't it the last minute now?
"Send the order." Huang Yueying said in a deep voice: "Beicheng will divide five thousand troops to defend the East City, and gather all the young men who are carrying them to Beicheng. In addition, send people to surround the Zheng family, and no one will be released."
Ma Dazhong looked at Huang Yueying, having no idea what this woman was thinking, and her words were completely illogical.
…………
Late at night, a fat man with a round face in brocade clothes hung from the wall of the North City and arrived at the camp of Cai Mao's army. After informing him, he was received by Cai Mao.
"Zheng Yang, the housekeeper of the Zheng family, has met General Cai." The fat man bowed to Cai Mao and said happily: "General Cai. What a God-given opportunity. Huang Yueying transferred five thousand soldiers and horses from the North City to the East City for defense. Now there are less than three thousand troops to guard the North City.
, it can be broken in an instant. If the general makes a surprise attack with his whole army tonight, he will definitely be able to attack me with a single blow, and I will be hanging upside down."
After the fat man finished speaking, all the rebel generals looked surprised. They also knew that Dongcheng was in urgent need, and it was not impossible for Huang Yueying to mobilize troops from North City. If this was true, Beicheng's defenses were really empty, and all the generals asked for orders to raid the city.
Suddenly a general asked Zheng Yang: "Huang Yueying mobilized troops late at night just because she didn't want us to know. How did you know about it?"
All the generals looked at Zheng Yang, and Zheng Yang replied: "Huang Yueying did it secretly, except for our Zheng family. I'm afraid no one knows the news. The defense of Dongcheng is empty. Huang Yueying recruited the servants of our family to defend the city. We are a descendant of the Zheng family."
Chu Gong happened to see the Dongcheng reinforcements arriving in the middle of the night, so he knew about it."
Cai Mao nodded, it sounded reasonable. In addition, the fat man had a happy face, so he believed it. Suddenly he frowned and said coldly to Zheng Yang: "You dare to deceive me, when my sister married Liu Biao. You
The Zheng family was also present, how could I remember that the butler who followed Mr. Zheng was not you?"
Zheng Yang looked at Cai Mao and suddenly became angry: "General Cai, don't you believe me? How many years have passed, can't the butler be changed?"
Seeing Zheng Yang's angry face, Cai Mao was embarrassed. Suddenly the fat man said sadly: "The general is right. In fact, I just became a housekeeper. The previous housekeeper was killed by Huang Yueying yesterday."
Zheng Yang wiped away tears, feeling inexplicably sad.
"General, send troops." A general shouted loudly: "This opportunity must not come back again. If Jiangdong's army attacks the city tomorrow and robs the food, weapons, and state animal seals, it will be very bad."
"Yes, if we control Jiangling, we will control Jingzhou, and we won't have to rely on that coward Sun Quan. This is the most critical moment."
"General, send out troops."
"Send troops."
The generals asked for orders one after another, and Cai Mao also felt that Jiangdong could not take the lead. He picked up his sword, stepped out of the camp, quickly gathered his troops, and attacked Jiangling North City.
Just as Cai Mao left the camp, another fat man entered the Jiangdong Army camp.
Cai Mao fought his way to the bottom of the city. He was overjoyed to see that there were few torches above. He immediately launched an attack. The Sichuan army defenders on the city were still sleeping. They were suddenly attacked. Their numbers were so small that they could only resist for less than a stick of incense.
After retreating, the city gate was opened by the rebels. Cai Mao was overjoyed and marched his army into the city.
Under the firelight, the square in Wengcheng was filled with weapons and food. The rebel generals were overjoyed and hurriedly organized people to move them. Cai Mao shouted: "First send people to control the city wall and guard the food and weapons. The rest will follow me and rush to the county government."
.”
Cai Hao was still reasonable and knew that this was not the time to grab food, so he suddenly said: "Those who are left behind will look carefully to see if Zhou Mu Yinshou is here."
At this moment, suddenly a rebel soldier stepped on a hard object and almost tripped. He picked it up and looked through the torch, showing surprise. He bit it again and shouted in surprise: "I picked it up."
It’s such a big piece of silver, hahaha, I can go home and marry a wife, hahaha.”
"It's here too, it's here too."
"Wow, there's a nugget of gold here."
"There are a lot of copper coins on the ground."
The soldiers roared and shined torches on the ground. They saw copper coins all over the ground, and gold and silver nuggets scattered here and there. The rebel soldiers went crazy. Many of them were common people and servants who were coerced by their families. Their discipline was lax and they would never be seen again in their lives.
After spending so much money, they all went to pick up the money on the ground, hoping to find gold and silver, and fought over a gold or silver nugget.
Those who couldn't see the gold or silver nuggets went to pick up the copper coins on the ground. The rebels were instantly in chaos. At this moment, countless torches appeared on the tower of Wengcheng. Huang Yueying stood up and Ma Dazhong said loudly:
"Cai Mao, you have been tricked by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu lured you to attack my city. In fact, he wanted you to open the way for Jiangdong Army and seize the opportunity to seize your camp so that he can dominate Jiangling. How can you hide this small plan from my military advisor?
.”
…
In the Jiangdong military camp.
"Bold, you are telling lies. You are obviously a trick sent by Huang Yueying. Do you want to lure me into an ambush? You are looking down on me, Zhou Yu."
Zhou Yu stood up in a hurry, looked at the fat man in front of him with a cold eyebrow, and said sternly: "The Sichuan Army has always been supported by stupid people. Those stupid people do not distinguish right from wrong because of small favors, and they all obey the orders of the Sichuan Army. They will use your family members to guard the city.
?You are trying to deceive a three-year-old child with such lies, and you are trying to deceive me, Zhou Yu. You made the wrong calculation."
The fat man spoke calmly, and Zhou Yu already suspected that he had prepared his words. After listening carefully, he found a loophole.
The fat man was a little panicked.
At this moment, a soldier came to report: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Jiangling North City is in flames, and Cai Mao has led an army to attack the city."
The generals of the Jiangdong Army were all shocked, and Pan Zhang stepped out and said: "Captain, whether it's a trick or not, Cai Hao will open the way. We can definitely follow him in. Even if Huang Yueying doesn't divide his forces, we can just attack Cai Hao's army and Huang Yueying together."
Down."
Zhou Yu frowned, this was indeed a God-given opportunity. He did not believe that Huang Yueying was so easy to deal with, but Zhou Yu knew that even if Huang Yueying and Cai Hao could not be defeated in this battle, it was the best time to annihilate Cai Hao.
As long as Cai Mao is eliminated, even if Huang Yueying is not eliminated tonight, the isolated city of Jiangling will be difficult to defend, and the day will not come soon. Jiangdong Army does not lack this time.
If you still hesitate at this time, you are indecisive.
"Chen Wu. Lead three thousand soldiers and horses to attack Cai Mao's camp. We must capture it."
"yes."
"The rest of you, follow me into the city."
"yes."
…
In Wengcheng, Cai Mao said loudly: "Huang Yueying, let me keep talking nonsense. How could you possibly know Zhou Yu's plan? I advise you to surrender immediately. I have 30,000 troops. Can you, Wengcheng, stop me?"
Cai Mao looked at the many Sichuan soldiers on the city wall, definitely more than 5,000, and saw that his own soldiers were panicking. He had already believed it, but at this time it was just a false threat.
"If you are stubborn, let go of the arrow."
The rain of arrows covered the chaotic rebels. There was no cover in the square, and the rebels were in chaos. A large number of them were shot to death at once. Cai Hao was about to organize a charge when a row of torches was dropped from the Wengcheng. A row of kindling materials had already been placed under the city.
Suddenly there was a huge fire, blocking the rebels' approach.
At this moment, a soldier came to report: "General, it's bad, Jiangdong's army came out of camp, ran all the way to my camp, and fought all the way to my rear. They have already engaged in battle with the rear team."
Next to him, Zheng Yang suddenly reined in his horse and ran to the rear, shouting as he ran: "The Governor, save me, the Governor, save me."
"What? Wow." Cai Hao yelled: "Grind your teeth, Zhou Yu, you bullied me too much, I, Cai Hao, will never give up."
Cai Mao shot Zheng Yang to death with an arrow and led the entire army to retreat. The Sichuan army fired another round of arrows. After leaving behind a pile of corpses, the rebel rear army changed to the front army and fought regardless of Zhou Yu's army.
Huang Yueying hurriedly organized troops and horses to regain control of the city defense, and the young men dressed as troops cleaned up the chaotic square.
Huang Yueying stood on the city wall, watching Cai Mao and Zhou Yu fighting outside, smiled and said: "This Cai Mao is really silly and cute."
Ma Dazhong worriedly said: "But military advisor, if Zhou Yu defeats Cai Mao and Jiangdong Army is no longer restrained, we will be in even greater danger."
"I only need two days." Huang Yueying said solemnly.
For these two days, Huang Yueying took a risk. Fortunately, it succeeded. If it had not succeeded, Huang Yueying would have been defeated and retreated to Jiangling.
Ma Dazhong didn't quite understand what Huang Yueying meant. When he suddenly saw Zhou Yu retreating, he said with great joy: "Commander, look, Zhou Yu's troops and horses were defeated by Cai Hao. That's great. If Zhou Yu is defeated, we will no longer be a threat.
"
Huang Yueying smiled, shook her head and said: "Zhou Yu is not defeated, he is retreating. If my guess is correct, Jiangdong Army should have captured Cai Mao's army camp. It seems that Zhou Yu's battle is not completely aimed at me.
After occupying Cai Mao's camp, Cai Mao has no basis, lacks food and grass, and the army is panicked, so it will inevitably be defeated. Zhou Yu retreated to preserve his strength, and he is indeed worthy of being the number one hero in Jiangdong."
Huang Yueying knew that Zhou Yu wanted to attack Cai Mao first. Without this scourge, he could attack the city with confidence. With the elite Jiangdong Army, he would definitely be able to capture the city.
But Zhou Yu didn't expect that he would only need two days.
…
Zhou Yu took control of the rebel camp. Cai Mao's army was out of food and morale was in chaos. Zhou Yu took the opportunity to attack and the rebels surrendered in large numbers. One day later, Zhou Yu defeated Cai Mao. Not only did he not lose many troops, but he also surrendered 20,000 people. Cai Mao led hundreds of
The man fled back to Jingbei in embarrassment.
Jiangdong's army began a massive offensive. In addition to Lu Meng in the east city, Zhou Yu in the north city used the surrendered rebels as human shields and began to storm the city defenses. The defenders in the north city only had 4,000 people and were completely unable to stop them.
"Order, all the young men who monitor the clan must fall into the city to defend the city." Huang Yueying ordered.
"Then what should we do if the family rebels?" Ma Dazhong said,
"You can handle so much."
About a thousand young men fell into Beicheng, but they were still unable to make any difference. Beicheng was like a thin piece of paper, being continuously pierced by the sharp spears of Jiangdong Army.
The situation was critical. At this moment, many people in the city came spontaneously. Some wanted to defend the city for the Sichuan Army, and some brought food. These people were all former victims of the disaster. They felt the kindness of the Sichuan Army during the disaster relief ordered by the Sichuan Army.
, grateful for the kindness of the Sichuan Army, and unwilling to abandon the Sichuan Army.
Huang Yueying said loudly: "Folks, the city is going to be destroyed. You should move away from Xicheng quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
"We won't leave." An old man said loudly: "Back then, my three grandchildren and I had no food and clothing. It was the Sichuan Army that gave us food and built us a house. We didn't let our grandchildren freeze to death and starve to death. Now we
How can we abandon the Sichuan Army and leave alone?"
"Yes, we are not leaving."
"Commander Huang, let us do something for you."
"yes."
Looking at the simple faces, Huang Yueying said in a deep voice: "Folks, it is the duty of the army to protect the people. If you still appreciate the kindness of the Sichuan Army, just listen to me and retreat from the West City immediately. Otherwise, when the city is broken,
I, Huang Yueying, can only die to apologize."
Huang Yueying bowed deeply to the people, and the people had no choice but to leave.
The officers and soldiers were inspired by the people, especially Huang Yueying's words, "It is the duty of a soldier to protect the people." Their morale was high, and they all resisted Jiangdong's army bravely.
There was a fierce battle at the top of the city. Huang Yueying asked Ma Dazhong: "How many people have moved away?"
"Prefect Jiang said that approximately 100,000 people were moved out."
"One hundred thousand." Huang Yueying read.
Ma Dazhong sighed: "Military advisor, don't be upset if I tell you something. The Jiangdong Army is not a savage beast. It is also well-disciplined and will not harass the people at will. It is normal for many people to be unwilling to move."
"I didn't say less, one hundred thousand is already a lot."
"Military advisor, as far as I know, we still have a lot of young men who are useless. Why not use them?" Ma Dazhong couldn't hold it back in the end.
"Can I defend the city with this?"
"At least it can last a little longer."
"how long?"
Ma Dazhong was speechless. No matter how long it took, Jiangling, an isolated city without reinforcements, would eventually fall. However, he felt that since Huang Yueying wanted to move the people into Shu, he should stay longer and give the people more time.
Without Cai Mao's restraint, Jiangdong's army began to attack the city without scruples. These were elite troops trained by Zhou Yu, far more elite than the defenders. The North City was constantly in danger, and the East City, which had added reinforcements, held out for less than two days, and also attacked the city.
Huang Yueying is in a hurry.
Huang Yueying looked at the color of the sky. The setting sun, covered by thin clouds, cast a golden light and shone on Jiang Dongjun.
Zhou Tai took a look at the battle situation and saw that according to this trend, Jiangdong's army would be able to capture the city in just a few hours, tomorrow morning at the latest. However, Zhou Tai knew Zhou Yu's temper, and if he could capture it tonight, he would never wait until tomorrow morning.
"Commander Huang, what are you still thinking about?" Zhou Tai asked.
Huang Yueying sighed quietly towards the sky and said with a sad face: "Zhou Tai, do you know? I am going to win."
