"Newspaper~"

When Yang, Zhou Yu was leading the army to march in the direction of Jiangling, and a sentry scout rushed to Zhou Yu's handsome banner until he stopped his horse, turned over and fell off his horse, and saluted Zhou Yu: "Governor, it's not good." ”

"Oh?" Zhou Yu looked at Tanma and said, "What happened?" ”

"Liu Bei's army arrived in Jiangling the day before yesterday and is storming Jiangling with his troops." Tanma took a deep breath and said loudly.

"What?" Beside Zhou Yu, Lu Meng's face changed when he heard this, and he said sharply: "How is the battle going?" ”

"I didn't dare to get too close, I didn't see it clearly." The probe bowed down.

The battlefield is chaotic, and Liu Bei also sent scouts to investigate the battlefield around, if he gets too close and encounters the scout sentry of the other party, it doesn't matter if you are an ally or not, at that time, there is no place to reason if you are killed.

"Governor, let's march faster, don't let that Liu Bei seize the opportunity!" Lu Meng panicked when he heard this.

"How could Gangneung be so easily breached?" Zhou Yu didn't panic, shook his head and smiled: "Since Liu Bei is willing to open the way for our army, then let him fight first, why should I worry?" Just ......"

"What doubts does the Governor have?" Lu Meng looked at Zhou Yu suspiciously.

"Kong Ming shouldn't be so unwise." Zhou Yu frowned and said, Liu Bei's 30,000 army sounds quite bluffing, but Zhou Yu knows very well that of these 30,000 troops, there are only five or six thousand people who really belong to Liu Bei, and the rest are either borrowed from Liu Qi, or the defeated army of Jingxiang is contained, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rabble, with this group of people, where did Liu Bei get the confidence to attack Jiangling? Even if Liu Bei was dizzy, Zhuge Liang shouldn't fail to remind him.

"Probe!" Although he felt that he was not worried, Zhou Yu still asked Tanma to continue to listen to Jiangling's information, so as not to make mistakes and omissions.

"Whoa!" Tanma agreed, turned on his horse, turned around and galloped away in the direction of Gangneung.

And at this moment in Gangneung, the battle has entered a critical moment.

Cao Ren could clearly feel that after he transferred the soldiers and horses of Shuizhai back, Liu Bei's army attacked more fiercely, and at the same time, Cao Ren stood on the high platform and found that Liu Bei had sent a group of soldiers and horses to the north of the city, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar in the distance, and it was here that the city tower seemed to shake slightly, Cao Ren heard the sound, his face changed, and the direction in which the roar came from was the direction of the water village, and he hurriedly ordered someone to find out what happened.

"General, the big thing is not good, that Guan Yu led the naval army, and suddenly killed it when our army was reinforced!" The two generals stumbled over and said to Cao Ren bitterly.

"How could the water village be breached so easily!?" When Cao Ren heard this, he was shocked, jumped down from the high platform, lifted the general, and asked sharply, and at the same time ordered people to lead his troops to reinforce the water village.

"General, it's too late!" The general said astringently: "On Guan Yu's warship, there are catapults and bed crossbows, and ten big ships bombarded one after another, directly blasting open the gate of our army's water village, and now Guan Yu has led the army into the city!" ”

Warship? Catapults? Bed crossbow!?

Cao Ren's mind was full of question marks, forget about the bed crossbow, how did the catapult get on the boat, such a boat, and use the catapult on the water? I've never heard of it.

The gate of the water village is at the water's edge all the year round, which is not as strong as other city gates, where can it withstand the bombardment of the catapult, if it is really a catapult, it is not difficult to understand if it is blown open, but the catapult can still be used on the boat, which makes Cao Ren a little difficult to accept.

There was already a shout of killing in the city, and at the same time, arrows continued to rise in the sky, obviously signaling to Liu Bei's side.

"General, withdraw!" The general knelt in front of Cao Ren in pain and said hoarsely: "The city can't be defended!" ”

Cao Ren clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, two days! The dignified general of the Cao army, guarding a fortified city like Gangneung, couldn't hold it for even two days!?

Silently pulling out the sword, Cao Ren directly put the sword across his neck, and he felt that he had no face to go back to see Cao Cao.

"General, no!" Seeing this, several generals of the Cao army around hurriedly rushed forward, snatching the sword from Cao Ren's hand with all hands and feet, and one of the generals hissed: "General, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and you have not been defeated in the past, why do you seek death!?" ”

Generals: "......"

Can you speak human words, what does it mean that you haven't been defeated before? If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, everyone would have directly cut each other's minds.

Another general pulled Cao Ren and persuaded: "General, this battle is not a crime of war, the armor, bows and arrows equipped by the soldiers under Liu Bei's command are all good for our army, and the naval army led by Guan Yu can actually use catapults on the ship, no one expected that the general still needs to go back, and report this matter to the prime minister, the general wants to commit suicide here, and when our army meets Liu Bei again in the future, it is inevitable that he will suffer losses, and it is better to report this matter to the prime minister." ”

Cao Ren was excited, and he said it well, this matter must be reported to the prime minister, the weapons and armor in Liu Bei's army are the same as those in the Mo City, it seems that he has the support of the damn craftsman, and he must prepare early!

Thinking of this, Cao Ren returned his sword to the sheath, looked at Liu Bei's army who was still attacking urgently, gritted his teeth and said, "Go!" ”

The north gate is still in their hands, but Liu Bei has already divided his troops over there, and now he thinks about it, which is to attack the city, it is clear that it is to prevent him from escaping, but at this moment there is no longer so much to take care of, Cao Ren got off the city wall, and directly ordered someone to notify the soldiers of Beicheng to break through the city, although Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are elite, but Cao Ren estimates that those who are attacking the city are elite, and the others are just a rabble.

Guan Yu has not yet killed here, Cao Ren got on the war horse, and went straight to the north gate with a group of soldiers, just out of the city gate, he saw an army in front of him, Cao Ren didn't say a word, commanded the army to rush, the soldiers over there were indeed as Cao Ren thought, they were all from the red cliff before, at this moment saw Cao Jun rushing, directly dispersed, let Cao Ren rush to kill the past.

In Jiangling City, with Cao Ren's retreat, Liu Beijun successfully killed the city wall, opened the city gate, let the soldiers enter the city, and quickly seized various important places.

"Kong Ming, why did you want to let that Cao Ren go?" Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang straight to the treasury, looking at the well-sealed treasury, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this time, the money and food were available, and then he looked at Zhuge Liang puzzled and asked.

"The elite of our army are attacking the city, Cao Ren is eager to break through, and he will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy, even if he stops it, our army will suffer heavy losses!" Zhuge Liang explained with a smile: "And it may not be able to capture Cao Ren." ”

Cao Ren is a general under Cao Cao, not only proficient in the art of war, but also a brave general, in the chaos of the army, it is not easy to capture and kill it, so that the general will have no way to do it, which prince will take the general he has worked hard to train to fight with others?

Liu Bei sighed when he heard this, this attack on Jiangling seems to be fierce, but if it can't be taken today, I'm afraid it will no longer be able to maintain this kind of offensive tomorrow, wounding a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, although the siege of the city has been very smooth in the past two days, but those soldiers who are equipped with sophisticated weapons have also lost more than half of them in these two days, and if they fight again, the level of the war will probably be lowered.

"In addition, let Cao Ren report to Zhou Yu on behalf of the lord." Zhuge Liang smiled.

"Reporting?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "That's true." ”

Isn't it, let Cao Ren send a message to Zhou Yu and ask Zhou Yu not to come, otherwise when the time comes, the two armies will face off against each other, and it will not look good, after all, the two sides are still allies.

Jiangling, and then the entire Nanjun is basically Liu Bei's bag, but at this time, Liu Bei did not dare to take it lightly, because the war was not over yet, and after a day of repair, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, each leading a team of men, to go to the cities in Nanjun to plant Liu Bei's banner.

Gangneung was all defeated, and the rest of the cities naturally fell to the wind, and there was little resistance.

On the other side, Zhou Yu was still marching unhurriedly, and at noon on the second day when he learned that Liu Bei had attacked Jiangling, a probe came to report that a large number of Cao troops were found in front.

"How can there be Cao Jun here?" Lu Meng looked at the probe horse suspiciously: "Have you ever seen clearly?" ”

"Back to the general, I can see it very clearly, it is indeed Cao Jun." That probe the road.

Zhou Yu's face was a little unsightly, and he looked at the tanma and said, "Who is the banner?" ”

"The other party has never raised the banner, it seems that it is a rout!" Tanma bowed.

"Stop them!" Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" Lü Meng agreed, and commanded the army to intercept the rout of this Cao army.

Cao Ren has escaped for a day, and after the army has been repaired, it has re-formed a formation, so that the military looks not as embarrassed as yesterday, but when he heard that there was a Jiangdong army blocking the road, Cao Ren's heart was a little heavy, and he escaped Liu Bei's men and horses, could it be that he was going to die in the hands of Jiangdong soldiers?

Seeing that the opposite side had already lined up and blocked the way, Cao Ren took a deep breath, rode his horse to the front of the formation, and shouted at the Jiangdong army: "Cao Ren is here, where is Zhou Yu?" ”

"Cao Ren?" Zhou Yu rode his horse to stand under the banner of the Chinese army, and his face became more and more solemn when he heard this, and said to Lu Meng: "Go and ask him, why is he here if he is not guarding the city in Jiangling?" ”

"Whoa!"

Lu Meng agreed, rode his horse and galloped to the front of the formation, and shouted to Cao Ren: "The governor of my family asks you, why are you here when you are not guarding the city in Jiangling?" ”

When Cao Ren heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Jiangling has been broken by that Liu Bei, and Zhou Dudu is going to kill Cao Ren?" ”

Lu Meng's face changed, and he rode back to Zhou Yu's side, watching Zhou Yu open his mouth, but he didn't know how to say it.

Zhou Yu naturally heard it, his face was a little gloomy, and he waved his hand and said, "Get out of the way, let him pass!" ”

"Dudu, this ......" Lu Meng was shocked when he heard this: "Cao Ren is a general under Cao Cao, why not take this opportunity to capture and kill him?" ”

"What's the use of killing him?" Zhou Yu shook his head, and then said with a sassy smile: "This time, I was picked up by that Liu Bei, but I want Jiangdong to be this wicked person?" Get out of the way. ”

Capturing and killing Cao Ren, for Zhou Yu, there is no benefit, but it will hate Cao Cao, no wonder Zhou Yu is depressed, he was the one who defeated the main force of Cao Jun, but it was Liu Bei who finally got the benefit, if the hatred of Cao Ren's death is detained on Jiangdong's head because of this, it will really become a big wrong.

The army slowly retreated, Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, gave a military salute in the direction of Zhou Yushuaiqi, and then led the soldiers and horses straight over.

"Governor, what do we do now?" Lu Meng looked at Zhou Yu's face and asked carefully.

"Go to Jiangling and congratulate that Liu Xuande on capturing Jiangling!" Zhou Yu thought about it and smiled.

Although Jiangling was taken advantage of by Liu Bei, if they came to visit, if Liu Bei didn't give any benefits, it wouldn't work.

"Whoa!"
