The population of the seven counties of Jiaozhou is less than one million, making it the least populous state except for Xiliang.

(Note: The twelve counties of Xiliang have mixed ethnic groups and a surplus population of Jiaozhou.) If only the Han population is counted, Jiaozhou will have more Xiliang. ）

The South China Sea, where Zhou Yu was stationed, is the gateway to Jiaozhou, with a population of more than 200,000 people, and is the second largest county in Jiaozhou.

In the past few years, Sun Ce has recruited soldiers three times, so that most of the women and children in Nanhai County are old and weak, and they can no longer recruit soldiers. After Zhou Yu was defeated and retreated, he was stationed in Panyu, the seat of governance in Nanhai County.

There were less than 20,000 soldiers, and the morale was completely lost.

Even Zhou Yu is not sure of winning.

Because a few days ago, more than 100 of his fighting ships and ships were sunk by the cannons of Xu Shu and Gan Ning, and the kind of power that destroyed the world made him unforgettable. If the cannon bombarded the city gate, Zhou Yu did not dare to guarantee that the wooden city gate could withstand it.

"Newspaper... The enemy army was twenty **** away from the tower of Yu City, and the soldiers reported to Zhou Yu.

"Revisit."

"No."

The soldier walked away quickly.

Lu Meng said: "Xu Shu's red-clothed cannon, if it can sink the fighting ship and the ship, it will definitely be able to destroy the gate of Panyu City." The governor should make plans in advance. ”

"General Cheng." Zhou Yu ignored Lu Meng and called softly.

"Yes."

Cheng Pu stepped forward.

Zhou Yu said: "Send more soldiers to carry boulders, seal the east, west, and north gates, and then find a large amount of fire oil and giant trees to prepare to defend the city." ”

"No."

Zhou Yu's order seemed to be sticking to Panyu, but in fact, he was left behind. If it is not advantageous to defend the city, you can evacuate from the south gate and flee to Cochin.

All the generals understand that they are really helpless.

Soon.

The scouts sent a message: "Governor, the enemy has divided into two routes. There are 3,000 people all the way, along the official road from west to north, and it is expected that after two quarters of an hour, they will arrive at Panyu City. More than 10,000 people from another road went to the south. ”

"Xu Shu is too rampant, only 3,000 people, dare to come to my Panyu City?!" Huang Gai snorted coldly.

"General Huang, don't forget that the enemy's artillery can sink the fighting ships and ships, and it will also be able to destroy the city gates. Although there are only 3,000 people, its combat effectiveness will never be weaker than our army. Lu Meng reminded.

Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, etc., all nodded one after another, looking extremely worried.

Zhou Yu said: "The purpose of the enemy crossing the river is to occupy Jiaozhou. Our strategy is to rely on the favorable terrain to resist and slow down the offensive edge of Xu Shu's army. As long as you can hold Jiaozhou for two months, you can unite with the Jingzhou army and repel Xu Shu. ”

"What the Governor said is very true."

"But...."

Huang Gai said: "The last general heard that Lu Bu personally led a large army to attack Jingzhou, I don't know if Zhuge Liang can win?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "Old General Huang, don't worry, Zhuge Liang is not so easy to defeat." The Jingzhou clan will not watch Lu Bu seize Jingzhou. They will work together to recruit troops to fight each other. ”

Time passes minute by minute...

Two quarters of an hour later.

Song Xian's first brigade came to the outside of Panyu City.

Three thousand four hundred soldiers, without shields or armor, each armed with a musket and a machete, with a pale blue pocket straddling his waist. It feels like the defense is very weak. Because during the Three Kingdoms period, it relied entirely on armor for defense, and the First Brigade had no armor and was all cloth.

Han Dang took a look at it and chuckled: "I don't even have armor, are you here to send him to death?" ”

"Please give me 3,000 light horsemen, and I will be able to make meritorious contributions!" Huang Gai said confidently.

Zhou Yu carefully observed for a while, but he didn't see anything powerful about Song Xian's army. He immediately responded: "Okay, old general beware." ”

"Thank you, Governor."

Huang Gai returned to the city, ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses, and killed Song Xian's first brigade.

Song Xian rode on a yellow-maned horse, full of arrogance, and shouted: "This attack on Panyu City is the first battle of our new army, not only to win, but also to win perfectly, to annihilate the enemy, and not let go of a single one." ”

"Ordered the first regiment to throw a round of grenades first, and then attack and advance. Large assault guns of the 2nd and 3rd regiments, placed on the flanks, fired live ammunition .... ”

"No."

As soon as Song Xian's words fell, the three regiments acted quickly.

The large assault guns of the 2nd and 3rd regiments, which were already on both flanks, saw the enemy coming into range and opened fire first.

Bang bang bang...

The sound of the large assault gun, unlike the redcoat cannon, is like setting off firecrackers, which is very crisp.

Five breaths of continuous firing knocked down a large area of the enemy (including the war horse) at a distance of five hundred meters.

However, the large assault rifles were too heavy and few in number, and they could only fire forty live ammunition at a time (each regiment was equipped with twenty large assault rifles), which was a drop in the bucket compared to the overwhelming light cavalry army. It can't stop the enemy cavalry from advancing.

Boom boom...

At this moment, the soldiers of the 1st Regiment had already arrived at the appointed position, took a grenade from the pocket of their waists, ignited it with a fire breaker, and threw it at the galloping cavalry.

I only heard a loud noise like earth-shattering thunder, and the position sixty meters in front was flattened. All the enemies, the horses, were destroyed by a powerful force.

The soldier was thrown into the air.

The war horse splits, and flesh and blood fly.

More than 500 light riders running in the front were all broken.

Zhou Yu was shocked and shouted, "Old General Huang, come back quickly!" ”

As soon as Huang Gai left the city, he saw the soldiers in front of him die tragically, and he was so frightened that he grabbed the reins of his horse: "What's the matter?" ”

Woo woo...

The horn of withdrawal was heard in the city.

Huang Gai didn't know why, but after thinking about it, he turned around and went back to the city.

The light horsemen who had already rushed out of the city were all wiped out after struggling for a while.

Song Xiance immediately stepped forward and said, "The first regiment suppresses the firepower, and the second regiment and the third regiment enter the city quickly." ”

Receiving Song Xian's order, the soldiers of the first regiment, about a thousand people, ran to the edge of the moat and opened fire on the city tower. The powerful firepower network caused a large number of casualties among the soldiers on the city tower.

"Ahh

Zhou Yu was shot in his left arm, screamed and squatted on the ground, shouting: "Squat, squat..." ”

"What the hell, how can the enemy's 'bow and arrow' shoot so far?" Pan Zhang's face turned pale.

"Kill...!"

The soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd regiments, under the cover of the 1st regiment, quickly entered the city.

Huang Gai's light cavalry tried to intercept the enemy entering the city, but was attacked by a large number of small assault rifles, and suffered heavy casualties. Huang Gai held a shield, ran to the city gate, and slammed the city gate shut.

However, before he could go far, he heard a deafening explosion behind him.

"Ahh The gates were blown open, and Huang Gai was seriously injured.

Several soldiers stepped forward and carried Huang Gai away.

"Kill...!" All the soldiers entered the city with small assault rifles, and all the enemies who stood in their way were brutally killed.

(Note: The assault rifle has a short fuse and explodes after two breaths when ignited.) ）

From beginning to end, the soldiers defending the city did not dare to stand up, and as soon as they appeared, they were fired upon by the enemy on the other side of the moat. Even if you use your shield to block attacks, you can't shoot enemies from a distance of 200 meters with a bow and arrow.

As a result, the Wu army in Panyu City could only be beaten passively.

Song Xian took the guard platoon and entered the city unhurriedly.

When I came to the city tower, I saw that the generals of the Wu army led by Zhou Yu were all captured, and laughed: "Okay, the first battle has been won!" Go and tell Lord Xu that there is no need to set up an ambush in the south, and return to the garrison of Panyu City. ”

"No."

This battle is the most bizarre battle in history.

Song Xian's 1st Brigade, under the condition that the enemy had already prepared, broke through the city with zero casualties, and the Wu army had no power to fight back.

After Xu Shu got the report, he returned to Panyu City.

"General Song's victory in the first battle is gratifying, I will report it truthfully and show the general's merits."

"Thank you, sir."

Xu Shu said: "It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of our First Army is far superior to that of the Wu Army. Tomorrow, a regiment will be left to garrison Panyu to take care of the captured generals of the Wu army, and the rest of the troops, starry and nightly, will rush to Jiaozhi and strive to eliminate Sun Ce within a month! ”

"No."
