In the north of Lexiang City, a team of 3,000 people was responsible for transporting a large amount of grain and grass into the city at this time.

Originally, according to Kou Yanqing's plan, he should use Jingmen as a place for his money and grain hoarding, but the rapid fall of Jingmen really made him have to replace it with Lexiang.

At this time, the team of 3,000 people, in addition to the 1,000 soldiers who were responsible for escorting, more were people who were responsible for transportation.

At this time, Jiang Laoqi, who was the captain of the Minfu team, was saying to his team with a happy face: "It's Lexiang ahead, we're finally here!" ”

"It took me three days to come, and I don't know how long it will take to go back, and I don't know if our land has been planted?" The other person was not happy, but said with a sad face.

"The village chief said that he would send other people to help us plant, what the village chief said should be fine, right?" Someone replied hesitantly.

……

These people were all recruited from Xiangzhou.

According to the order, each village needs to be sent out according to the population.

In this spring ploughing season, no one wants to come here, but how can they disobey the orders of the government, under the compulsory orders of the above, although everyone is unwilling to accept the errand, no one dares to veto it directly.

Just when the scene was deadlocked, Jiang Laoqi took the lead in standing up and accepted the call; Then more than a dozen people took the initiative to stand up, and only then did the number of people get together.

Jiang Laoqi was the first to stand up, and as a result, he was appointed as the captain of their team.

Unlike other people who are concerned about their own land and only want to complete this task as soon as possible so that they can return as soon as possible, Jiang Laoqi is the kind of person who eats enough and the whole family is not hungry.

If there is chaos today, he knows that now is the time for the dragon and snake to rise to land, as long as he dares to break through, he may not be able to make some achievements.

The purpose of his coming out this time was to take over the call from the government, and secondly, to come out and see the world; Maybe in the future, he will join the army and make contributions on the battlefield.

So at this time, while everyone else was thinking about how to go back as soon as possible, he was staring at the armor worn by the leader at the front and the war horse he sat on with envy.

"If I could also carry a war horse and wear such armor, what a beautiful scenery it would be?" He thought to himself.

However, at this moment, a slight tremor began to appear on the ground, and then, dust rose in the distance, and a loud roar could be heard in the distance.

"Enemy attack! Hurry into town! The leader will shout loudly.

Jiang Laoqi didn't understand what was happening, so he only saw that the Liang soldiers who were in charge of escorting them were panicked one by one after hearing the shouts, and they began to run towards the city desperately.

"What happened?" Many people were still at a loss, but Jiang Laoqi had already reacted at this time: This is an enemy raid!

Their army, which carried grain and grass and baggage, did not encounter any enemies all the way south from Xiangzhou, and Lexiang City was also under the control of the Liang army.

Although I heard that the Wu army had captured Jingmen and began to engage the main force of the Liang army in Changlin, Lexiang was in the rear, so no one thought that the enemy army would come here to raid, and it was a surprise attack with cavalry.

So when the enemy army raided, it was just when they arrived in Lexiang, and the defenders of the city checked that they were correct, opened the city gates, and prepared to let them into the city.

At this time, this team, which was originally dominated by people, was in chaos the moment it was raided.

Those soldiers knew that their numbers were too small, and they were under a surprise attack, and they could not hold back the enemy; On the contrary, the city gate had been opened at this time, and they only needed to rush to the city as soon as possible to save their lives, so they were running into the city one by one, and as for the grain and grass transported, and the people, they couldn't take care of it.

It's a pity that Lexiang is only a small city, and the city gate is not wide, so many of them flocked to the city gate at the same time, and instead of fleeing for their lives quickly, they crowded at the city gate.

For the defenders in the city, it is nothing that this grain convoy is wiped out by the enemy, but if the city is breached by the enemy, then his responsibility is greater.

Therefore, the defenders in the city desperately wanted to close the city gate, but the soldiers outside wanted to escape into the city as soon as possible, which made the city gate blocked and could not be closed for a while.

"Is this the cavalry raid of the Wu army? This kind of momentum is indeed ......" Jiang Laoqi was stunned as he watched the enemy rush from a distance at a very fast speed, and the momentum was so strong that he couldn't find the right words to express his feelings for a while.

Before he could wake up from his stupor, the other people around him ran towards the city gate like the soldiers who escorted him.

"Escape, you can only survive if you flee into the city!"

Jiang Laoqi shuddered, and quickly reacted, this was not the time for him to be stunned.

"Don't go to the city gates, it's too late!" He let out a loud shout and shouted to the rest of their squad around him

"Follow me!" ”

So saying, he abandoned the grain cart they were escorting, and ran madly along the city wall.

Under his leadership, many people reacted and followed him all the way to other directions.

The city gate was already crowded with people, and even the city gate could not be closed, so it was strange that they could escape into the city if they squeezed there again.

Anyway, they are just some people, and if they don't get in the way of the enemy, maybe the enemy will let them live; But if they stay at the gates, they may be killed when the enemy arrives.

……

At this time, Chai Kehong, who was leading the cavalry charge in the distance, couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

It was not that he saw the hope of taking the opportunity to break through the city, but because this was the first time he had led his cavalry to charge the enemy.

This feeling of galloping is completely different from the feeling on the training ground, which makes his blood boil a little.

After leading the army to Lexiang, he and Hou Zan quickly learned through scouts that the enemy army was indeed heavily guarded, and the city gates were usually closed, not giving them a chance to sneak attack.

Therefore, after a brief discussion, the two decided to target the enemy's grain convoy.

However, Chai Kehong then mentioned that he could attack when the enemy's food convoy entered the city, and if he was lucky, he might be able to take the city when the enemy army was in chaos.

Hou Zan naturally agreed to this suggestion, after all, they had not yet exposed their whereabouts, and there was still a chance to sneak attack the city; Moreover, when the enemy army is about to enter the city, it must be the most relaxed time, and at that time, even if the city cannot be broken in one fell swoop, the resistance of the enemy army can be greatly reduced.

Sure enough, when they saw the opportunity to launch a car raid when the enemy army was about to enter the city, the enemy army really collapsed in an instant without any resistance, and the enemy troops who frantically flocked to the city gate also blocked the city gate, making it impossible to close the city gate in time.

If they're lucky, they might be able to take the city down!

Chai Kehong endured the excitement in his heart, and shouted to the people around him to speed up the charge.

Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps......

Fifty steps, forty steps......

Soon, the 1,000 cavalry under his personal command rushed into the enemy army, which was still in chaos, without any hindrance, stirring up a bloody storm, and those panicked people were even more killed and cried for their fathers and mothers.

These people were originally just ordinary people, because of the government's conscription to transport grain and grass here, it stands to reason that they are just a group of innocent people, but unfortunately there are never innocent people on the battlefield; The cavalrymen who bravely assaulted only picked up the sabers in their hands and slashed high, regardless of whether they killed ordinary civilians or enemy soldiers.

"Quick, get them cleaned up and take the gates down!" After rushing into the enemy line, Chai Kehong did not join in the slashing of the enemy army, but quickly commanded his men to launch a surprise attack at the city gate.

If they can quickly seize the city gates, then they still have a chance to capture the whole of Lexiang; If they can't, then they will have to retreat and continue to attack the enemy's food convoys.

On the city wall, in the face of the surprise attack of the enemy army, Wang Rong gave an early order to close the city gate.

It's a pity that those "own people" who escorted grain and grass were crowded at the city gate, and as a result, they couldn't close the city gate until now, which made Wang Rong frightened and couldn't help but be annoyed.

"Pass on the general's order and ask Liu San to quickly close the city gate; Ben will not care what method he uses, but if he can't close the city gate within a quarter of an hour, Ben will ask him! ”

"Send someone to tell Wang Xing again, let him lead five hundred people to line up behind the city gate, and remember to put more horse-repellent stakes!" Wang Rong yelled at the herald with a gloomy face.

"Yes, the little one is going to give the order!" The two heralds were also flustered, and hurriedly ran to give orders.

After the herald left, Wang Rong turned around and saw that although the crossbowmen around him were all holding their bows and arrows, none of them were releasing arrows, and he couldn't help but be furious: "What are you doing? Why don't you release the arrows yet? ”

"General, there are our men down there......" an officer-like man replied tremblingly.

Wang Rong was furious, raised the horsewhip in his hand and threw it over: "At this time, what do you care about your own people?" Do you have to wait until they kill all of our people before they make a move? ”

It's no wonder that he is so annoyed, the situation below has long been one-sided.

Although there were 3,000 people in the team escorting the grain and grass, only 1,000 of them were real Liang soldiers, and the rest were just some people.

However, whether it was the soldiers of the Liang army or those ordinary people, they were powerless to fight back under the impact of the cavalry of the Wu army at this time, and they were all like lambs to be slaughtered.

In this case, where is the care? It would be nice to be able to inflict some casualties on the enemy.

"Yes, release the arrows, hurry up and release the arrows......" The officer was whipped and suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly ordered.
