"Knock knock..."

The thunderous drums resounded through Jiangzhou City, and the soldiers and civilians of the whole city were all stunned, and then the entire city was boiling, as if the city was alive.

"What's going on, where are the drums of war?"

"The Chu army is here?"

"King Ba has returned with a large army?"

"Yangguan has been conquered?"

···

The people in Jiangzhou suddenly heard the sound of war drums, hurriedly returned home, and closed their doors to avoid the war; Those who come out of their homes with weapons and whose intentions are unknown; There are those who wander through the streets and alleys and spread rumors everywhere; Walking in the shadows of the city, there are also those who wait for an opportunity to make a windfall.

For a time, Jiangzhou City was in chaos.

Castle Guard.

When Cao Xu, the city guard, heard the sound of the drums, he was shocked and asked, "What's the matter, where is the sound of the drums?" ”

As he spoke, he listened to it and found that the sound of the drum was coming from the direction of the river, and his heart was slightly relieved.

"Newspaper... General, the water division of the state of Chu appeared on the river outside the city, and was beating drums on the boat at this time. ”

When Cao Xu heard this, he suddenly realized that he had already asked the sailor to close the military camp and not to confront the Chu State. Now that the Chu army is not restrained by the Qin army, it can naturally come and go freely and unimpeded.

If it was just a Chu State Water Master, Cao Xu didn't have much to worry about.

After all, he had been prepared for this, as long as the Chu army could not go ashore, there would be no threat to the city.

Just as he was thinking, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then someone hurriedly said:

"General, the soldiers patrolling the city came to report, the war drums sounded, someone took the opportunity to start a vendetta in the city, and when the soldiers of our army arrived, a family of civilians had been killed!"

"General, only then did the people report the crime, and only then did someone take advantage of the chaos to rob."

As soon as this person's voice fell, another person came to report: "General, it's not good, the war drums sounded, and dozens of people took the opportunity to storm the city gate, but fortunately, our army was heavily guarded, and the enemy had been killed by our army." ”

"Storming the gates?" Cao Xu's heart suddenly stopped, and then beat violently.

Although the deal was not successful, as soon as the drum sounded, dozens of people attacked the city gate, which undoubtedly means that someone in the city is a Chu person or a Ba person outside the city.

Perhaps, this drum is the signal!

The crisis is not on the outside, but on the inside.

Just as I was thinking about it, another person came to report:

"General, there are dozens of Ba people gathered in the city, their intentions are unknown, and they have been dispersed by my patrol soldiers."

···

The news in the city continued to gather in Cao Xu's hands, and Cao Xu was suddenly furious.

This Chu army just beat a drum outside, and there were so many things happening in the city. If you wait for the Chu army to attack the city, then it will be okay, and Jiangzhou City will not be overturned by these guys.

In a fit of rage, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and soon, four soldiers walked in with a man in their arms.

"General, this person took advantage of the chaos to spread rumors in the city, and has been captured by our army."

Cao Xu's face sank, he looked at this poorly dressed Ba man who was beaten beyond recognition, and said in a deep voice: "Behead this person, put his head on the city wall, and tell the people in the city that those who spread rumors will be beheaded." ”

"No."

"Give the order that all the army should go out of the camp, and then make rounds throughout the city, and disperse all the people, and let them go home. A quarter of an hour later, those who wandered in the city were directly punished as spies, and there was no mercy for killing.

The order was given to immediately block the four gates with bricks and stones, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The order was that the Chu army was besieging the city, so it was decided to collect the grain in the hands of the people in the city, and from today onwards, the food rationing system would be implemented, and it would enter the highest state of combat readiness. ”

"No."

Soon, Jiangzhou City was silenced again under the strong suppression of the Qin army.

At this time, Cao Xu stood on the city wall, looking at a large group of Chu warships scattered on the river not far away, his face was full of gloom.

Frightened by a group of sailors who could not go ashore, he blocked the city gate, I am afraid that no one has done such a thing since ancient times, and after this battle, he is afraid that he will become famous in the world.

It's just...

Cao Xu turned around and looked at the city, if it weren't for the fact that the people in the city were not credible and could defect at any time, how could he fall into such a situation!

However, the key now is not how to teach the Ba people a lesson, but to hold the city and wait for reinforcements.

As long as reinforcements arrive, the Chu people, the Ba people, and the Shu people are all not a problem.

Now, the most important thing is not to hold all the places, but to hold Jiangzhou.

Thinking about it, Cao Xu walked towards the city guard mansion with an angry face.

At the same time, in a Ba mansion in the city, Xiang Yun, a Ba nobleman, waited for a long time in the hall where he received guests, and no one came to him.

At this time, Xiang Yun frowned, he was one of the most important people in Jiangzhou City. Now that the Qin people have something, they should come to him to help, but as a result, no one has come over now.

It wasn't until his patience ran out that he said suspiciously: "The Chu army is coming, and the Qin people have ordered martial law in the whole city, at this time, shouldn't the people of the whole city be enlisted in the army according to the custom, and then the army and the people will work together to defend the city?"

Otherwise, with only more than 10,000 in the city, no, 5,000 Qin troops have just been transferred, and now there are only 8,000 Qin troops left, how can they hold Jiangzhou City.

Why didn't anyone come to me?

Could it be that the Qin people already suspect me? ”

Not to mention how the Ba people in the city were suspicious, on the river, Shen Yifu couldn't help but smile as he watched the lively Jiangzhou City become dead and silent again.

"Order, keep the drums beating, and let the soldiers take turns beating the drums. In addition, let the Ba people on the boat take a small boat, find a place that is easy to climb ashore, and let them contact the Ba people from all over the country. ”

"No."

At sunset, the drums fell, and then the water division of the Chu State turned back to the city.

Late at night.

Most of the people in Jiangzhou City had already fallen asleep, and the Qin soldiers were still patrolling the city. In addition to the Qin army, there are also some Ba people, wearing dark clothes, taking advantage of the night, with their familiarity with Jiangzhou City, in the Qin army's sight, low-key walking through the streets and alleys.

Xiangyun Fuchu.

After receiving the report from the Ba people, Xiangyun couldn't help but smile disdainfully: "The Qin people are too bold, the Chu State sailors are just beating drums on the river, and before they go ashore, the Qin people blocked the city gate, lest the Chu people kill into the city." ”

After laughing, he summoned another Ba person: "Go, you immediately secretly climb out of the wall and tell the nearby Ba people, just say that the Qin people are cowardly, and as soon as they are frightened by the Chu people, they will block the city gate of Jiangzhou."

Now that the Qin people are trapped in Jiangzhou and unable to support all places, it is time for the Qin people to disperse from all places. ”

"No."

In the next three days, the Chu State Naval Division sailed the warships to the outside of Jiangzhou every morning, beat the drums for a whole day, and then returned to Shitongyi at dusk.

Three days passed, although the sailors of the Chu army did not knock on the door of Jiangzhou, but as time passed, after three days of martial law in the city of Jiangzhou, the people in the city were locked up at home for three days, and they could only receive the half-full rations distributed by the Qin people every day.

The Ba people in the entire Jiangzhou City are full of resentment towards the Qin people, and the Qin and Ba people, who were not harmonious in Jiangzhou City, but did not have much hatred, gradually became differentiated, and became two groups of people who were clearly divided and ignored each other.

The drums of the Chu army couldn't knock on the city gate, but they had already knocked on the heart door.
