Chapter 274 - Covering Changsha City

"What?!Xiang Yu broke Yucheng so quickly?"

At this time, Sun Ce, who was sitting in Wuling, couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the scout's report.

He didn't expect that in just three days, his northwest portal had been taken by Xiang Yu.

"Big brother, don't worry, Liu Beijun has now entered Baoxian, and he can arrive in Wuling in three days at most, and the top priority at the moment is to send troops to reinforce General Huang Gai stationed in Changsha." Sun Quan, who was standing aside, saw this and immediately spoke.

Sun Ce suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Since the Chu army has broken through Yucheng, then the next step is to either enter my Wuling County or transfer to Changsha." Therefore, at present, the brother cannot spare troops to support him.

Send someone to tell him that he must hold on for another three days, and within three days, help will arrive!"

Seeing this, Sun Quan immediately arched his hand and said: "Please think twice, the Chu army will connect seven cities within three days, and now it is only seventy miles away from Changsha, if there is no reinforcement, I am afraid that Changsha will be in danger!"

Sun Ce couldn't suppress the anger in his heart at this time, and immediately shouted: "Huangkou Xiaoer, know the art of war? I said let him hold on for a few days, he must hold on for a few days!

I don't care about the rest! Changsha City, even if he Huang Gai died in battle! You have to keep it for me, too!"

Seeing that his eldest brother was really angry, Sun Quan didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to be ordered to send an order to Huang Gai.

…………

In Changsha City, after receiving the order, Huang Gai's face was as dead as ashes.

"The lord is forcing the old minister to die! Poof!" Huang Gai's eyes were full of tears, his whole body collapsed on the chair, and he shouted loudly. Before the words fell, a mouthful of blood spurted out and fell to the ground.

"General!"

Seeing this, his subordinates were afraid that something would happen to Huang Gai, so they hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Hahahaha, lord, don't worry, the old minister will live and die with Changsha!" Huang Gai said that, and immediately fainted

By the time Huang Gai woke up, it was already night. The people who had been guarding his side saw that he woke up and hurriedly stepped forward to offer condolences.

"Help me up, how many days has the old man slept?" Seeing this, Huang Gai hurriedly asked.

The adjutant general hurriedly helped Huang Gai up and said, "The general has been asleep for two days. ”

"What?!Where is the Chu army now?" When Huang Gai heard this, he was immediately shocked.

"This, don't hide it from the general, the Chu army is now camped under the city, and the water around the city is blocked, preparing to attack the city early tomorrow morning."

Huang Gai listened to it, and even got out of bed to wear armor. Seeing this, the generals hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

"What are you doing? The Chu army has already arrived under the city, you don't go to the city wall to set up defenses, do you still want to watch a dying person here?!" Huang Gai said angrily.

"That's it! Hurry up to the city and set up defenses! The day after tomorrow, the rescue will be there as soon as it arrives!"

"General, general, there are only 5,000 soldiers left in the city now, only, I'm afraid of ......" When the adjutant general heard this, he immediately cowered and said.

"What? Five thousand, and what about the rest of the soldiers? Huang Gai was taken aback.

"Tell the general, the previous 10,000 horses were annihilated by the Chu army, and now except for Changsha, all other places have been captured by the Chu army, and Changsha is currently an empty city......"

Cold sweat broke out on the adjutant general's forehead, I don't know if the combat strength of the Chu army was too amazing, or he was afraid that Huang Gai would spurt blood again.

"Uh, ahem. Who is in command of the operation this time? ”

"Back to the general's words, it's Zhou Bo and Xu Huang."

"Alright, you go outside the room first, and I'll be there in a moment." Huang Gai waved his hand and instructed everyone to go out.

When everyone saw this, they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to leave the room and wait.

After everyone was gone, Huang Gai got out of bed and drew his sword, put it on his neck, and prepared to kill himself.

After a long time, there was a "bang", and Huang Gai's hand fell to the ground. Then tears welled up in his eyes.

"My lord! Huang Gai is here, and he swears to defend Changsha for you!"

Huang Gai said, immediately put on the armor, put on the sword, and then went out of the house.

After Huang Gai went out, he and the generals went straight to the city gate to check the military situation of the Chu army.

Looking at the Chu army camps lined up outside the city, as well as the firelight and walking soldiers in their camps, Huang Gai couldn't help but feel powerless.

"Pass my military order, order 800 elite soldiers, and follow me out of the city to attack the camp!" After a long time, Huang Gai said as if he had made a major decision.

"No!" When the adjutant general heard this, he hurriedly went down to the city to order troops.

The bright moon was in the sky, scattering light on the earth, but even so, the earth was still gray.

The gate of Changsha slowly opened under such moonlight, and then hundreds of people rushed out of it. After hundreds of people left the city gate, they went straight to the brightly lit Chu army camp.

However, just when Huang Gai led hundreds of people only a hundred steps away from the camp, there was a sudden shout of killing!

I saw that its left and right wings suddenly struck out and surrounded hundreds of people. The torches immediately dispelled the previous haze.

"General Huang, this general is going to my camp again!" Zhou Bo, who was in front of him, seemed to smile at this time.

"Hahahaha, Huang Gongfu, now you have been surrounded by me and other three-way people, don't get off the horse quickly and surrender!" Yu Ziqi, who was standing on his left flank, laughed.

"Humph! Today there is only Huang Gongfu who died in battle, brothers! Fight your way out with me!"

Immediately, 800 elite soldiers began to fight with thousands of Chu troops. With Zhou Bo's order, thousands of Chu troops immediately lined up, surrounded the eight hundred soldiers, and did not let anyone go.

When the defenders who stayed in the city saw the shouts of killing all over the city, they lost their minds for a while.

When the generals saw that Huang Gai's camp failed and was surrounded, they decided to go out of the city to help the battle and rescue Huang Gai.

Unexpectedly, just as the city gate was opened, a man and horse suddenly came out and caught the defenders who were about to leave the city by surprise.

In the face of the sudden enemy army, the defenders who had not yet prepared were suddenly defeated and retreated towards the city together. In such a situation, there was no time to close the city gates. And the Chu army took this opportunity to enter the city in one go.

For a while, Changsha City was like a Shura battlefield, with all kinds of sounds mixed together, which made people tremble when they heard it.

In less than a stick of incense, the 800 people who were previously surrounded by the Chu army had already become dead souls. Huang Gai was the only one left, standing in the array.

At this time, Huang Gai already had dozens of wounds on his body. The pale hair was also scattered because of the lack of restraint, the long knife in his hand had been curled, and dozens of Chu soldiers were lying at his feet.

"General Huang! Surrender! At this time, Zhou Bo personally came to the front of the battle to persuade him to surrender.

The next moment, Huang Gai suddenly shouted. Then, dozens of arrows came straight towards Huang Gai, and Huang Gai suddenly became a hedgehog, and the long sword around his neck also stopped at this moment.

Seeing this, Zhou Bo turned over and stepped forward to close his eyes that had not yet closed.

"The general can go with peace of mind, his family affairs don't have to worry! Come on, bury General Huang's body! After entering the city, be kind to his family!"

Zhou Bo said, immediately turned on his horse, took his men, and entered Changsha City.
