Wuchang City, Taishou Fan Liang was wearing armor to patrol the city, since the Zhou army in Bazhou, Jiangbei Province had been besieging Wuchang but not attacking after crossing the Yangtze River, which made Fan Liang relieved and even more worried.

Up to now, in addition to the sporadic casualties caused by the Zhou army fighting for the east gate and the blockade outside the city, the defenders of Wuchang have survived a few days without danger, although there will be no casualties without fighting, but it is always restless to wait like this.

The Zhou army is menacing, so Wuchang is relieved by Yongxing in the west and Xiakou reinforcements further west, and these horses who should have arrived have not appeared so far, but it is relieved that the reinforcements from Yangxin in the east are already confronting the Zhou army in the eastern suburbs, so Fan Liang is also a little relieved.

Reinforcements must have come, but they were blocked near Fankou, and it must have been the Zhou army that captured Fankou that blocked them, and it was precisely in this way that Wuchang's naval army could not enter the river through Fankou to intercept the Zhou army's warships.

Fan Liang was not worried about the battle situation in Fankou, because the garrison on Fanshan had not sent a warning signal so far, although it was impossible to send people to Fanshan to contact because the suburbs west of the city were blocked by the Zhou army, but Fanshan had 600 defenders guarding the rugged mountain road, and it would not be so easy to lose.

Thinking about it, I feel that Wuchang City can at least be on the top for a few days, and Fan Liang also walked to the southwest corner, now Wuchang is strictly defended, and the Zhou army can only climb the city if they want to attack, but look outside the city, except for a few lonely watchtowers, there are no other siege equipment.

"Ming Mansion, the Zhou army must have wanted to repel the reinforcements before attacking the city." A general said, and the others next to him also nodded in agreement, and they were on duty in shifts for a few days, and they saw that the Zhou army had no intention of attacking the city, and they also guessed that the other party would not make a move until they repelled their own reinforcements.

"There are three thousand reinforcements in Yongxing. Xia Kou will send five thousand. Plus the garrison of Fankou is enough. ”

"So they gathered together and pushed back the Zhou army in the west, and they could come over to relieve the siege!"

"Mingfu!! Something happened on the other side of the river! "There were soldiers running with a shout. After hearing his breathless words, Fan Liang got the latest battle situation: there were many Zhou army warships heading towards Jiangbei in the direction of Fankou, and they were all fully loaded, and it seemed that they were transporting people to retreat.

Because of the Fan Mountain, Wuchang City can not see the situation of Fankou on the other side of the mountain, but according to this sign, it seems that the reinforcements have won, and after a while, the beacon tower on Fan Mountain released a signal to indicate that the reinforcements have arrived, and the defenders are overjoyed to wait for the reinforcements to arrive.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the official road at the southern foot of Fanshan in the western suburbs of Wuchang was dusty, and a group of Zhou cavalry fled eastward in embarrassment.

"It's reinforcements, it's reinforcements coming!!"

The soldiers were overjoyed when they heard this, but Fan Liang, the Taishou who rushed to hear the news, frowned. It seems that the reinforcements have relieved the siege of Fankou and chased the remnants of the Zhou army, everything is taken for granted, so he should be more cautious.

In case it was a scene performed by Zhou Jun, who specially came to deceive the Wuchang defenders to open the city gate and attack, it would be troublesome!

"No one is allowed to leave the city without the order of the official, wait for the reinforcements to drive away the Zhou army in the east!!"

"No one is allowed to open the gates!!"

Under his command, the defenders of Wuchang calmed down, and the original idea of going out of the city and beating the water dogs also disappeared.

If it is really a reinforcement, it will naturally chase all the way to the east of the Zhou army camp, anyway, everyone in the city to watch the excitement, if the other party is in a hurry to enter the city, it basically means that it is the reinforcements pretended to be the Zhou army.

The defenders on Fan Shanshu sent out a signal that reinforcements had arrived, which may have been misunderstood, and they could only look at the banner when they looked at the foot of the mountain, in case they were fishing in troubled waters, they might not be able to figure it out.

The chase on the official road gradually approached Wuchang City, and the defenders at the head of the city also looked at them intently to see if there was something wrong with the other party, but what relieved them was that both sides passed from outside the south of the city. The cavalry chasing behind did not turn around and ask to enter the city, but only sent a few horsemen close to the city gate and shouted that they were ordered to support the Xiakou reinforcements in Wuchang.

"It's hard work! The city gate has been blocked, and our army can't leave the city for a while!! Fan Liang poked his head out of the city wall and shouted, he was also very careful to prevent the other party from releasing cold arrows.

The herald nodded without saying a word, then turned his horse's head and galloped away towards the large army. Fan Liang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he looked at the escape in front of him and chased him eastward, it wasn't that he was too careful, it was just about the safety of Wuchang, and he couldn't help but be cautious.

The fleeing Zhou army ran straight to the Zhou military camp in the eastern suburbs, and the cavalry chasing outside the camp kept swimming, as if to prevent the Zhou army in the village from escaping.

Just as the defenders were paying attention to the form of the east, a large number of foot soldiers rushed to the official road in the west, they were covered with armor and bloodstains, and it seemed that they had just gone through a big battle, and when they passed through the south gate of Wuchang, they also sent heralds to the city gate to report that it was Xiakou and Yongxing reinforcements.

Fan Liang still said that the city gate had been blocked, and he could not attack to assist in the battle for the time being, and the other party did not mention any request to enter the city, but returned to the large army to resume his life.

Several more people ran to the city, Fan Liang fixed his eyes and saw that one of them turned out to be an acquaintance - Lu Xiulin, a survivor of the Bazhou Lu clan, the two of them were at the head of the city and the other were shouting at each other under the city, and after tossing for a while, Fan Liang figured out the situation.

Fankou was really attacked by the Zhou army, and the Wuchang naval warships anchored in Fanhu were blocked near Fanshui when they were about to enter the river from Fankou, and the fleet was blocked on the river and was attacked by fire, and the Zhou army was also releasing rockets on the shore.

The fire became bigger and bigger, and the sailors had no choice but to jump off the boat to escape, Lu Xiulin easily escaped to the shore but was chased by the Zhou army, and the officers and soldiers who arrived at the time of desperation drove the Zhou army away, they were the reinforcements of Yongxing and Xiakou and came together to relieve the siege of Fankou.

Now that he came with the official army, he was about to do his best to pull out the Zhou military camp on the eastern outskirts of Wuchang, and when he saw that Fan Liang was very cautious, he did not open the city gate, so he said loudly: "Ming Mansion! The warships of the Zhou State are responding to the Zhou army on the south bank and fleeing north, and the army is about to chase and fight"

Lu Xiulin didn't finish speaking, only listened to the drums of the Zhou military camp in the east, and the Chen army facing the confrontation in the east also began to stir, Fan Liang looked over, only to see the faint Chen army flag waving, and heard the sound of drums, as if it was preparing for battle.

Many Zhou warships approached the river, jumped off from it, and rushed towards the camp. Seeing that the shouting shook the sky, it seemed that the battle was hot, and the cavalry that had surrounded it earlier sent someone to say that the enemy commander was going to flee.

"It seems that what Yuwen envoy Jun and Yang Xin's reinforcements can't stop soon!"

Hearing this, the infantry outside the city began to advance eastward, and Lu Xiulin saw this, and his eyes were cracked, and he shouted vigorously: "Mingfu quickly send troops to help in the battle, don't let that Yuwen Wen escape!" ”

Fan Liang saw that the battle situation in the east was urgent, so he ordered an attack. At this point, it was already obvious: it was indeed reinforcements coming. Besides, since Lu Xiulin is here, it is even more clear that there is no doubt.

This Lu Xiulin threw hundreds of acres of fertile land into his name at the beginning of the year, so he knows his situation very well: Lu Xiulin's people were assassinated in Bazhou across the river at the beginning of the year, Shi Yuwen and Wen Wen were almost killed, so there are different things, and it is impossible to do the internal response of the Zhou army.

The gate of Wuchang is blocked, but Fan Liang has asked the soldiers to clear the south gate and open it at any time, but he has been claiming that it cannot be opened.

There are not many people surnamed Yuwen in the Zhou army, and the only possible outcome is that the coach is Bazhou assassin Shi Yuwen Wen, Fan Liang decided to add a fire and a firewood to the victory of the army and seize the commander of the Zhou army.

If you can capture Yuwen Wen alive, it will be terrible, this 'one-legged bronze man' is the second son of Yu Wenliang, a big star in the southeast province of Zhou State, if he catches it in his hand, then the other party will not be able to keep the border of Chen State safe for several years.

After receiving the order of the Shangguan, the defenders of Wuchang soon opened the south gate, and the cavalry rushed out first, while the infantry also swarmed out and rushed to the east.

The reinforcements outside the city blew their horns to cheer up their comrades in front of them when they saw the defenders attacking, and a moment later there was a tidal cheer from the Zhou army camp, in which the flag of the Zhou State was pulled down and replaced with the battle flag of the Chen State.

A herald rushed over from there and said that he had broken through the Zhou army camp and captured the opponent's commander Yu Wenwen alive. Hearing this earth-shattering news, everyone present was overjoyed, and the reinforcements from outside the city stopped advancing eastward and approached the city gate.

Fan Liang had already led the soldiers from the south gate to the outside of the city, and he watched a group of cavalry coming from the Zhou military camp in the east, thinking longingly, and what kind of tone he would use to laugh at him if he saw the notorious 'Yuwen Wolf' for a while.

Lu Xiulin clenched his fists and stood aside, the thief who killed his Lu clan was captured alive, if he could, he really wanted to slash the enemy, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, even if it was the history of Yingzhou, he couldn't make the decision, and it could only be decided by Emperor Chen.

Thinking about the ridiculous 'decisive battle at the top of the sunset' was nothing more than an excuse for Yu Wenwen to kill Chen Shuling without authorization, Lu Xiulin had the idea of pulling out his knife and beheading him when the soldiers escorted Yu Wenwen over to avenge his father, younger brothers and clansmen, but after the blood, he came to his senses and knew that he couldn't do it.

In doing so, he will be angry and become nothing, without the protection of Chen Shuling, the king of Shixing, he is already walking on thin ice, and now he finally took refuge in Wuchang Taishou, if it is because of his own will, he provokes the prestige of the Chen court, then as the only hope of revival of the Lu family, it will be knocked to the bottom and can no longer turn over.

If you can't do it, you can always use your mouth, Lu Xiulin decided to use the most vicious language to scold Yu Wenwen for 'this fang'. He wanted to see how embarrassed the other party was and how panicked.

Didn't you make up a decisive battle at the top of the West Sun? Then I will make up a story about the decisive battle at the top of Wuchang, so that the world will know how you were defeated under Wuchang City, and how you shamelessly knelt down to beg for mercy to save your life!

The reinforcements and infantry had reached the south gate, and a general threw a whip and dismounted his horse and led the people forward. Fan Liang straightened his armor to meet him, and Lu Xiulin followed closely, and the general who led the troops had a good conversation with him, so he had to act as an introducer.

Yuwen Wen is finished, his revenge can't be avenged, but it can be regarded as revenge, now he has to think about his future and the future development of the Lu family, Lu Xiulin wants to climb the relationship with the generals of Yingzhou as much as possible and find more backers.

"General Liang, this is Wuchang Taishou Fan Ming Mansion" Lu Xiulin squeezed out a smile and introduced, the general surnamed Liang in front of him was very appreciative of his performance in taking the initiative to lead the way to the war, and he decided to further develop the good 'relationship' between the two sides.

"It turned out to be Fan Mingfu, the last general Shi Wanzai, who was ordered by Yuwen to take over Wuchang City." (To be continued.) )
