Lu Jiulang shouted under the city for a long time before a sentry lazily poked his head out and asked, "What's next?" ”

"I'm coming from Jiangyang County, something big has happened, Jiangyang County has been lost, and the Jin army is about to be killed!"

The sentry was startled, "You wait, I'll report it!"

The sentry turned and ran to report, and after a while, the captain on duty hurried over and asked in a loud voice, "What kind of kid are you from that family, who came here to talk nonsense?" ”

Lu Jiulang suddenly said angrily: "I'm not a child, I'm Lu Jiulang, the famous kappa in Jiangdu City, and everyone in the city knows me!" ”

When the lieutenant heard that his voice did not sound like that of a child, he asked, "You have come to deliver the letter, where is the letter?" ”

Lu Jiulang took out the bamboo tube and shouted loudly: "You go on, I'll throw it to you!" ”

He struggled to throw the heavy bamboo tube to the head of the city, he stood at the head of the stone bridge, only four or five zhang away from the head of the city, ordinary people can throw it, but Lu Jiulang people are small and short, the bamboo tube smashed on the city wall, fell, and the soldiers resounded with laughter.

"Damn, you can't throw it so close!"

The captain scolded and was about to order someone to open the city gate to pick it up, but when he inadvertently looked up, he saw a mighty fleet heading towards Jiangdu City in the bright moonlight a few miles away.

The lieutenant was stunned, he suddenly shouted, and shouted: "Go and report to the general, ring the alarm bell, the Jin army is coming!" ”

The soldiers also saw the flotilla in the distance, they were in a mess, and someone sounded the alarm, "Dang! While! While! ”

The rapid sound of alarm bells echoed over the city, and the sleeping soldiers were awakened, and the main general Xue Lun was also awakened, he put on his coat and came out, and asked, "What happened?" ”

"General Qiqi, the alarm bell has sounded at the head of Nancheng!"

At this time, there was a rumbling drum in the direction of Nancheng, Xue Lun's face suddenly changed greatly, just the alarm bell, maybe it was a sneak attack by a small army, but if the war drums also sounded, it was a big army attacking.

"Order all soldiers to go to the city to fight!"

Xue Lun shouted loudly, he simply fastened his armor, turned over his horse, and ran towards Nancheng with a spear in his hand.

At night, there were 5,000 soldiers on duty at the head of the city, and although most of them were lazy to sleep, they were awakened by the sound of alarm bells and war drums, and the soldiers rushed to the south of the city from all directions.

At this time, the fleet had sailed into the moat, and the soldiers lowered their sails one after another, although the sails were the power, but they were also the most vulnerable to fire, and when entering the moat, the ships could sail by inertia and bracing, and there was no need to use sails again.

There were already thousands of soldiers at the head of the city, and the soldiers fired a volley of arrows at the ships that were close at hand, and the soldiers on board also raised their shields and fired back with crossbow arrows, and people on both sides continued to scream from the arrows.

The big ship led stopped, and three huge planks with iron hooks were put on the head of the city, firmly hooked to the city bricks, and the other end of the board was also fixed on the side of the ship, which was specially used to attack the bridge of the city, and the soldiers of the Jin army on the boat held short spears and large shields, and quickly rushed to the head of the city along the bridge.

At this time, Xue Lun also rushed to the city, he saw a large ship moored by the city wall, countless ship planks on the city, countless Jin soldiers were flocking to the city, Xue Lun's eyes were suddenly red, and shouted: "Burn the ship with fire!" Burn the ship with fire! ”

Torches were thrown at the big ship, and finally the ropes of the two big ships were ignited, and then the sails on the side of the ropes were ignited, and the deck of the big ship became a sea of fire, but the Jin soldiers were also red-eyed, and countless soldiers rushed through the flames desperately and killed the city.

"Why haven't the reinforcements come yet?"

Xue Lun watched more and more Jin soldiers kill the city, and the defenders on the city were retreating, and he shouted in despair.

At this time, a general rushed to the city and shouted, "General, the brothers can't stand it, let's withdraw the city first!" ”

Xue Lun was about to reprimand angrily, he suddenly shouted on his left, his army was defeated, the defeated soldiers swarmed in, almost knocked him down, his own soldiers saw that the situation was critical, set him up and fled, and ran to the front of the road, Xue Lun looked back, only to see countless Jin troops covering up, only a dozen steps away from him, and the position he was standing just now has been flooded by enemy soldiers.

Xue Lun felt a chill in his heart, and he couldn't care about his image, so he rushed to the city in a panic.

The thousands of defenders at the head of the city finally couldn't withstand the fierce offensive of the 10,000 Jin army, and fled to the city one after another.........

At this time, the second batch of 20,000 main Jin troops under the personal leadership of Li Bing also killed outside the south city of Jiangdu, at this time, the south city gate has been opened, the drawbridge was lowered, the soldiers surged into the city, and a soldier accidentally picked up a sealed bamboo tube on the edge of the city gate.

The soldiers of the Zhu Jun army in the big camp in the city also rushed out of the big camp, after all, there were 20,000 people, especially in the middle of the night when the soldiers were asleep, from the whole army, the assembly to the killing of the big camp was not so fast, when they came out, the Jin army had already captured the head of the southern city and entered the southern city.

Xue Lun didn't care to scold his generals, he shouted hoarsely at the soldiers: "Fight to the death...... If you lose tonight, no one will survive! ”

Half an hour later, another 10,000 reinforcements of the Jin army entered the city, making the total strength of the Jin army in the city reach 40,000, surpassing the defenders in the city in terms of numbers.

Two powerful armies fought in the Jiangdu City, and at the same time, hundreds of warships sailed outside the Jiangdu City and headed towards the north, which was the Yangtze River Navy that went to blockade the Huai River.......

As soon as the sky was dark, Guo Song arrived at Jiangdu City by boat, he was on the Yangtze River all night last night, this time he did not overstep his bounds, replacing Li Bing's command, he completely let Li Bing fight this battle.

In fact, Guo Song had already received news that the battle in the city was over at the fifth watch, and he only entered Jiangdu at dawn.

The Jin army has completely controlled the city of Jiangdu, countless soldiers have surrendered, and the soldiers are searching for fleeing soldiers from house to house, which is not to disturb the people, many soldiers will take civilians hostage after fleeing into civilian houses, so it is necessary to confirm door to door.

When Guo Song entered the Jiangdu City, he happened to hear the cheers of the whole city, although the people could not go to the streets, but they opened the doors and windows one after another, beating gongs and drums to celebrate the victory of the Jin army, they were extremely oppressed by Zhu Jun, and the full depression was vented at this moment.

When Li Bing heard that His Royal Highness the King of Jin had arrived, he hurriedly led the generals to the south gate to greet him.

"See Your Highness!" The crowd knelt down on one knee and saluted.

Guo Song waved his hand and smiled: "The generals have worked hard, please get up!" ”

All the generals got up one after another, and Li Bing stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "I want to report the battle situation to His Highness!" ”

Guo Song looked back at the city and said with a smile: "I want to go up to the city to see, let's go up and talk!" ”

The generals accompanied Guo Song to the city, Guo Song looked at this world-famous city, and sighed slightly: "When I accompanied Liu Xiangguo to Yangzhou to urge the salt tax, the river was so prosperous, I never thought that the second time I came to Yangzhou, it would become so withered!" ”

With a sigh of emotion, he turned back to Li Bing and said, "Let's talk about the battle situation!" ”

Li Bing knew what King Jin was most concerned about, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, in this night battle, we suffered about 3,000 casualties, of which 1,300 were killed, 1,200 were lightly wounded, and 500 were seriously injured. ”

Guo Song nodded, as he expected, now the Jin army has been able to control the number of casualties to about 10% of the total number of people participating in the battle, which is also the result of the army's long-term unremitting training.

"What about the other party?" Guo Song asked again.

"The other side suffered about 6,000 casualties, which is twice as many as ours, and 16,000 soldiers surrendered, including more than 1,400 soldiers of Meihuawei."

"What about Xue Lun?"

Guo Song asked, "Why is there no news of him?" ”

"Xue Lun has died in the chaos, we just dug up his body, he was hastily buried by his own soldiers, he should have died under the chaos of arrows."

Guo Song nodded, "Now that the army is searching the city, can there be any gains?" ”

"There are gains, mainly plum blossom guards, many people took off their uniforms and fled into the people, some were killed by the people, some were escorted out, there are currently about 300 people, it is estimated that there will be more, they did not participate in the battle, there should be 600 people fleeing into the people's houses."

"Maybe there are quite a few locals?"

Li Bing shook his head, "They all came from Luoyang, there are no locals, and we control the city gate, they have no way to escape, and now they have disappeared out of thin air, which can only prove that they have fled into the people." ”

"Alright! The search will be completed as soon as possible by noon today, all troops will be removed from the city, and normal order will be restored in the city. ”

"Obey the order!"

At this time, Li Bing remembered something again, took out a bamboo tube and said: "This is a soldier picked up at the gate of the city, inside is a secret letter, I want to tell the city, Jiangyang has been lost, humbly asked the soldiers guarding the city at that time, it was a dwarf who came to ventilate the news, and he couldn't throw this secret letter into the city." ”

Guo Song took the letterbox, poured out the whistleblower letter and read it, and asked, "Who is this Wu Duo?" ”
