Chapter 848 Backstab
Pacing back and forth in the room, Zhang Xian finally had no choice but to say: "Okay, I promise, when will your army arrive at Linxiang City? Our army can't last more than a few days."
Lu Su smiled slightly: "Please rest assured, Governor Zhang, our Jiangdong Army will launch a fierce attack on the Jingzhou Army tomorrow and force the enemy to retreat!"
"tomorrow?"
Jiangdong Army's advance was so fast? No, no.
It is naturally impossible for Jiangdong Army to fly from Yuzhang County to Changsha in just two days. I am afraid that Jiangdong Army had already set off a few days ago and is now not far from Changsha. Regardless of whether he agrees or not, Jiangdong Army will take action.
If they don't take action, I'm afraid Jiangdong Army will also attack the city.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xian couldn't help but break into a cold sweat on his forehead.
"In this case, Lu Su will leave first and ask Governor Zhang to be ready tomorrow to cooperate with our army inside and outside to defeat the Jingzhou Army!"
Zhang Xian nodded, and Lu Su walked out.
"Father, Jiangdong Army was beaten by Prime Minister Cao and fled in panic. Can they rescue our army?"
Zhang Ping said worriedly.
"There is no other way. Let's treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor, otherwise Linxiang City will be captured in a few days."
"It would be best if the Jingzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army engage in a melee. The two armies will hurt each other. In this way, the Jingzhou Army can withdraw and the Jiangdong Army will not covet our Linxiang City." Zhang Xian sighed.
The second day.
"kill!"
The drums in the Jingzhou Army formation were beating continuously. Thousands of Jingzhou soldiers stepped on the ladders and launched a fierce attack on the enemy. The archers of the Jingzhou Army in the rear kept firing their bows and arrows at the top of the city like rain. Arrows flew out, and the guards on the suppressed city couldn't raise their heads.
"Today we must defeat the city in one battle and kill them all!"
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of the war drums seemed to be insufficient. Liu Pan turned around angrily and said angrily: "Our army is about to conquer Linxiang City. Why is the drum sound so weak and disrupts the morale of our army?"
After that, Liu Pan drove away the soldiers who were beating the drums without explanation, grabbed two drumsticks, took off his thick armor, and beat the two drumsticks on the war drums in turn.
Boom, boom, boom!
As Liu Pan banged hard, the sound of the war drums rumbled endlessly, and the dense drumbeats seemed to be combined with the beating of the heart. Countless Jingzhou soldiers suddenly became excited and launched a new round of fierce attacks on the city.
A commander of the Jingzhou Army stepped on the ladder, grabbed the city head, turned over and jumped up.
"kill!"
He led several soldiers under his command and rushed towards the opposite side, as if forming a sharp small arrow, and immediately rushed out a gap among the defenders above the city.
After many days of fighting, most of the truly brave and skilled elite soldiers in Linxiang City had been killed or injured. There were many new soldiers on top of the city. These new soldiers were not very effective in fighting, so they were naturally killed and retreated by the Jingzhou soldiers who boarded the city.
"Hold on, the governor is coming!"
Seeing that the city was about to be captured by Jingzhou soldiers, a troop of troops and horses was suddenly replenished at the critical moment. This troop of troops and horses was not large in number, only more than 300 people. These more than 300 people were Zhang Xian's county guards. Although they were just a drop in the bucket, they could barely withstand the front of the Jingzhou Army.
The Jingzhou soldiers were determined to take over Linxiang City in one go today. Liu Pan kept beating the drums, and every Jingzhou soldier screamed as if he had been beaten to death. The defenders in the city suddenly fell into a hard fight.
"Damn it, didn't Lu Su say that reinforcements from the Jiangdong Army would be here soon? Why haven't they come yet?"
Zhang Xian personally supervised the battle on top of the city. Seeing the scene of bloody battle, he was frightened and just complained secretly.
It can be said that if nothing happens, Linxiang City will soon fall into the hands of the Jingzhou Army.
However.
Woohoo!
A desolate and low horn horn suddenly sounded from the southeast, and countless people and horses emerged from the dense forest and gathered towards Linxiang City.
The army gathered together and erected a red water unicorn flag and a general flag with the character Zhou.
Jiang Dongjun! Zhou Yu?
Jiangdong's tens of thousands of troops were guarding one person like stars holding the moon. This man was wearing a battle armor, a brocade robe, and a sword in his hand. Although he was a little tired, he still maintained his grace.
"Soldiers! Capture Jingnan. From now on, Jingnan will be our new home. In this battle, we will advance and never retreat!"
After Zhou Yu and the Jiangdong Army officers escorted Sun Quan and fled to Yuzhang County, Cao Cao was worried that the Xiliang Army might launch an attack if his lone army went deeper, so he temporarily called a truce to consolidate the newly acquired Jiangdong counties.
Sun Quan, however, did not dare to relax. On the one hand, he stepped up preparations for war, and on the other hand, he gathered the defeated troops. He obtained nearly 20,000 troops and prepared his troops in Yuzhang County.
Even though Zhou Yu was a talented person, it was impossible for him to assist Sun Quan in regaining Jiangdong with one county, so he had to wait for the opportunity secretly. When Zhou Yu learned that the three counties of Jingnan had rebelled, he realized that the time had come. Let the Jingnan Army and the Jingbei Army fight each other to consume their strength. At the critical moment, the Jiangdong Army rushed out and took the four counties of Jingnan as a new base!
"Taishici of Donglai is here, who dares to fight with me?"
Taishi Ci charged in front of the formation with a spear and a halberd in his hand, showing great majesty. He led the Jiangdong Army forward, accelerated his speed, and charged towards the Jingzhou Army's rear formation in one go.
"What? Lieutenant Wang, lead your army to stop Jiangdong Army quickly!"
Liu Pan was shocked when he saw Jiangdong's army suddenly appearing. The Jingzhou army under his command was currently attacking the city. If Jiangdong's army attacked the city violently from behind, wouldn't it be a huge defeat?
"Here! Don't worry, Director Liu."
Wang Wei shouted loudly, summoned more than a thousand troops, and headed towards Tai Shici.
When the defenders on top of the city saw Jiangdong's army coming for reinforcements, they were naturally refreshed.
"Soldiers, the reinforcements are here, drive the Jingzhou army off the city!" Zhang Xian roared.
"kill!"
At this time, more than a thousand troops and horses led by Wang Wei finally collided with Taishi Ci's vanguard who was marching in a hurry.
Boom!
"Who dares to stop me?"
Taishi Ci was angry at Cao's army for attacking Jiangdong, and he felt resentful in his heart. Now all this anger was poured out on the Jingzhou army. He could only see a halberd in his hand to block the enemy's weapons, and the spear in his hand sometimes seemed like a snake spitting messages. Sometimes he is domineering and sweeps through thousands of armies.
However, all the Jingzhou troops who came close to Taishi Ci fell to the ground, and no one could withstand three attacks from Taishi Ci.
Seeing Taishi Cisha marching into the army as if he was in a deserted place, Wang Wei couldn't help but became furious: "General, how dare you kill my soldiers?"
"Um?"
Taishi Ci sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, let's talk about it now after you survive in my hands!"
Tap tap tap!
Taishi Ci suddenly mobilized his war horse, charging towards Wang Wei like an angry dragon.
Wang Wei was greatly shocked. When he saw Taishi Ci charging into battle just now, he knew that his martial arts was not weak. But when he faced Taishi Ci in person, he understood this fear.
