Chapter 13: Civil Strife

The sunset gradually fades into the sky, the sky is as yellow as an egg yolk, and dusk is coming!

"Dingding!"

As the sound of gold sounded, the Jingzhou army and the prisoners of war stopped attacking, and then organized evacuation in turn, retreating like a wave.

The Jingzhou army withdrew, and the sunset in the distance was like an afterglow, illuminating the city head crystal clear.

Lu Chang's robe and body were already like a bloody man, his eyes were solemn, and he said: "The Jingzhou army's combat strength is so strong, it has attacked the city several times in one day, if it weren't for our desperate fight." ”

"I'm afraid, Xiangyang will be lost in one day!"

Hearing this, Le Qi was also covered in blood and panted: "What's more important is that now the prisoners of war have been completely absorbed by Guan Ping, and there are nearly 20,000 prisoners of war to help. ”

"Next, the situation in Xiangyang is becoming more and more critical!"

At this moment, even Li Ji, who had always advocated asking for war, looked gloomy, panting, and sat upright to rest.

So far, Lu Chang and Le Qi have been unable to maintain an optimistic attitude, and the combat strength of the Jingzhou army has exceeded their expectations, and they almost captured Xiangyang in one day of siege.

"I'm afraid the combat strength of the Jingzhou army is not weaker than the tiger camp under the command of King Wei."

After thinking for a long time, Lu Chang couldn't help sighing.

It must be known that they are holding on to Xiangyang City, which was operated by Liu Biao for more than 20 years in the early years, and after Cao Cao seized it, Lejin, Li Tong, Lu Chang and other generals all operated more.

It can be said that Xiangyang is now impregnable!

However, the strong combat power of the Jingzhou army has now made them extremely jealous.

Le Qi pondered for a moment and muttered: "The famous general Guan Yu is really worthy of his name!" ”

"Woo!"

"I actually shot my father with my own hands?"

"Brother!"

Only when Lu Chang and the others were pondering, at this moment, there was a sudden wail and cry on the head of the city, and many defenders were covered in blood at this time, and they directly threw away the weapons in their palms and wailed.

Most of the sergeants in the prisoner of war camp were Qingzhou soldiers, and except for some of the soldiers from Jianghan who were stationed in Xiangyang City, the rest of the sergeants were also Qingzhou soldiers who stayed here at the beginning.

Therefore, there were many relatives between the prisoners of war and the garrison soldiers, and now, in the big war, it is indispensable that some of them die in the battle.

Seeing this, Lu Chang's face was extremely solemn, knowing that if he let the soldiers cry and mourn, it would inevitably cause the army's heart to be disturbed.

"Those who cry bitterly will not be spared!"

When the order was passed down, Lu Chang was angry and left in anger!

But at this moment, Li Ji arrested several soldiers who were still crying bitterly and killed them personally.

"The county guard has an order, and those who are crying and mourning affect the hearts of the army, these few people are the fate of you and others."

Suddenly, Li Ji's face was cold and he shouted angrily.

Seeing that Li Ji was so ruthless, the sergeants didn't dare to cry anymore, so they had to silently stuff in their hearts.

It's a pity that this move is like a thorn in the hearts of everyone.

Slowly retreating from the city, Le Qi grabbed Li Ji and complained softly: "Why are you so impulsive? ”

"The order of the county guard is just to deter the soldiers, if you really implement it, it will make the army's heart collapse faster."

Hearing this, Li Ji said coldly: "Le Qi, the military law is strict, and the law is merciless, it is precisely because of this that the generals and sergeants in the army dare not touch the military law, if I don't behead a few sergeants just now, how can I deter the soldiers, how can they stop crying?" ”

"Only strict military discipline can forge strong soldiers."

"Alas!"

Hearing this, although he knew that Li Ji was reasonable, Coke was still vaguely uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that this move was inappropriate.

………

At night, it is almost ten o'clock

Xiangyang City had already been curfew, and it was almost pitch black except for the occasional roar of fire.

At this time, on the streets along the city gate, more than 100 Wei soldiers were quietly walking in the direction of the city gate, extremely cautious!

In the meantime, a short young sergeant seemed to be a little frightened, and asked a strong man from the side: "Dubo, do you think the defenders will let me wait to leave the city and go to collect the bodies of my relatives?" ”

When the words fell, Du Bo couldn't help but pause and think for a moment, his face seemed to be a little anxious, and then said: "Keep walking, and adapt when the time comes!" ”

When the words fell, everyone had to suppress the panic in their hearts and continue to move forward.

In fact, Du Bo was not sure in his heart at the moment, and the soldiers defending the city would let them go out of the city to find their bodies.

During the day, when Le Qi arranged for the sergeants to defend the city, he deliberately separated the original Qingzhou soldiers and replaced them with the former Jiang Han soldiers, whose intention was to prevent them, worried that the Qingzhou army would be willful and insisted on going out of the city, and when the time came, he was ambushed by the Jingzhou army.

Jiang Hanbing had no relatives among the prisoners of war, so this Du Bo was also afraid that they would not be accommodating.

After marching for a long time, there was a sudden shout at the city gate, saying, "Who are you waiting for, stand up!" ”

Seeing that he was discovered, Du Bo motioned for everyone to walk out together, and said, "It's Brother Yan, I'm an old eagle." ”

Seeing this, the captain of the garrison surnamed Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but then he also asked: "Old Diao, in the middle of the night, what do you want to wait for the sneaky approach to the city gate?" ”

"It won't be preparing to sneak out of the city and surrender to the Jingzhou army, right?"

After a pause, the captain surnamed Yan couldn't help but sneer.

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the Jianghan soldiers on the side also burst into laughter.

At this moment, the more than 100 soldiers behind Du Bo were almost filled with righteous indignation, and their bones were also creaking, and they were angry to the extreme.

In fact, the contradiction between Jiang Han and Qingzhou soldiers has been a long time, and these two soldiers are composed of different components, one is the elite who has followed Cao Cao to fight in the world for decades, and his military achievements are very rich, and his qualifications are still old.

It's just that Xiangyang is located in the Jianghan region after all, whether it is the Li Tong era or the current Lu Chang period, they all rely on Jianghan soldiers, which undoubtedly makes the old Qingzhou soldiers dissatisfied.

coincided with the surrender of Qingzhou prisoners of war to the Jingzhou army to attack the city today, which also lowered the status of the Qingzhou soldiers in the city.

"Yan Lin, don't deceive people too much, really think Lao Tzu is afraid of you, if it weren't for the war now, based on your words, I would definitely cut you."

Seeing the ridicule of the Jiang and Han soldiers, how could Uncle Diao Du tolerate it, and shouted directly.

Hearing this, Captain Yan Lin snorted coldly: "Hmph, am I wrong, you and the Lord have already surrendered to the Jingzhou Army in the forbidden capital and served for it." ”

"Is there a problem with you pawns going to join you?"

"Yan Lin, I have something important to go out of the city tonight, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, you quickly order your sergeant to open the city gate."

At this moment, Diao Dubo's face was extremely gloomy and he said coldly.

"Yo, you said open it, you think you're a general? It's already midnight now, why are you waiting to get out of the city, are you really going to surrender to the Jingzhou army? ”

"You, can you open the door?"

Suddenly, Diao Dubo was full of momentum, stepped forward with a knife, and asked.

Seeing this, Yan Lin was not afraid, and said coldly: "The general has an order, no one is allowed to leave the city!" ”

When the words fell, more than 100 soldiers behind Diao Dubo raised their war knives in an instant, besieging them, exuding endless might.

"Humph!"

"Soldiers, form a formation!"

Immediately, the Jianghan sergeant confronted the Qingzhou soldiers, and the surrounding momentum seemed to be suppressed by blood.

Jingzhou military camp, main account

In the big tent that was still brightly lit, Guan Ping at this moment was overjoyed, and said: "It's finally time to wait for this moment!" ”
